Everybody has those "Oh s**t" moments where they completely forget that they have brownies in the oven once they realize the brownies are no longer the ooey-gooey chocolate piece of heaven they hoped they’d be. Instead, you’re left with a hard, brownie-brick.

I’ve experienced this one too many times, and instead of throwing away the disaster I created in the oven, I came up with this super simple brownie crust magic bar that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
