Marble Brownies- From Improvement Era

These were a little bit misnamed.  I had a really hard time getting the brownie dough to marble in the pan.  I'm not sure what technique I should have used, but I would name mine layered brownies, super yummy layered brownies.  I give them 4 stars, but my husband only gives them 3.  He is a brownie snob and only wants brownies that are 100% chocolate.

The recipe doesn't say what kind of baking chocolate to use, so I used unsweetened.  Without thinking, I accidentally licked my finger and it was definitely unsweetend.  I think you could use semi-sweet or chocolate chips if you want.
