Double Chocolate Holiday Spice Brownies
16 tbsp. butter
4 oz unsweetened chocolate
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Zest of one orange
1/4 cup cocoa
3/4 cup flour
1 cup dried cranberries (optional, but highly recommended)
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Melt chocolate and butter together in microwave or double boiler
Stir in sugar
Add eggs, salt, vanilla, spices, and orange zest, and mix thoroughly
Add flour, cocoa, and cranberries, and mix thoroughly
Pour batter into 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment paper, and bake at 325 for 1 hour. Let cool completely (they become chewier and fudgier as they cool), then eat slowly on a cold night by a bright fire.

If 16 tablespoons of butter doesn't say decadence I don't know what does! Yum!
It would be more humane to write 2 sticks butter or 1 cup butter, otherwise a novice baker might actually scoop out 1 tbsp of butter 16 times :)
