I’ve had quite the Twitter and Facebook conversation this morning about what constitutes a brownie.

It started when I found this recipe last night for fudge made with BLACK BEANS. That got a discussion going and I found out there’s a whole underground world that includes many a recipe for brownies made with black beans. This recipe came highly recommended via Twitter on that front.

And, honestly, I might try both these recipes. Though, as it stands today, my fave brownie recipe is the one with zucchini in it.

So, are these recipes abominations? I know my friend Megan Stuke wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole. But I might…

What do you think constitutes a “brownie” or “fudge”?
