Brownie Pudding

For some reason, when I was little I thought this was the most amazing recipe to make, and remember making it a lot.. I think it was one of the first 'recipes' I remember trying to make...  lately it feels like I have gone to people's homes for dinner a lot, and last night I brought the dessert... here it is... because I did not know how many people would be there, I made one and a half batches...and baked it in one of those in between size pans...
