Brownies!

Made these brownies the other day, but haven't had the chance to post until now. I don't want to post the recipe, since Annie emailed it to me and I'm not sure if it's a secret family one or not. I used my all-edge pan, of course. The brownies were really good, however I was missing an ingredient - vanilla. Doh. So, they were a little on the dry side, though I'm not sure that was due to the lack of vanilla. I want to try the recipe again and tweak it to make them fudgier. Maybe some pudding? Oil instead of shortening? Any ideas?
