Homewrecker Brownies

When my grandmother was dying an old friend of hers stopped by often, usually bearing brownies. They were very tasty and we wondered what the old lady was really up to, as she spent more time talking to my still-healthy and once very handsome grandfather than visiting with my dying grandmother. At one point my grandmother even asked us point-blank, "Is (name withheld) still out there? That old vulture can't wait for me to die so she can take my husband!" Years later I found the very-same brownie recipe, with the old vultures name written at the top, tucked in with some of my grandmother's favorite recipes. So, without further ado ...
