Best Gooey Brownies

These were on a long-forgotten recipe card from a college friend.  I was baking for a friend who just had a baby and came across this recipe....seemed like a nice one to try for my gift.  BOY, were these good!  The amount of butter in these brownies is simply appalling, but they taste so good it's pretty much worth it.
