Fall semester is almost over, which means the holiday season is about to start!

For many of us, stress levels are at an all-time high with all the midterms, projects and finals making their way in. Though it’s been said many times, chocolate boosts happiness. So here’s a quick and easy brownie recipe to celebrate the holidays — all it takes is a microwave in your dorm, a mug and a few ingredients!

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup of water
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Process:

  1. Add all dry ingredients to the mug and mix.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
  3. Microwave for 60-90 seconds (depending on your microwave)
  4. You’ll know it’s done when the center seems slightly molten.
  5. Do not overcook!

Hope you try this recipe and hang in there — school is almost over!
