PMS Brownies
"Chocolaty and gooey and full of calories just the perfect treat for PMS - these are not to be shared but meant to be hidden in the freezer (under the Klondike bars--now I know I am not the only one that has a hidden stash in the freezer) where no one else can sneak them, so when that time of the month comes along you can take one (or two or the whole batch) out and pop them in your month -- your family will thank you!"
