It's National Brownie Day, which happens to be a legitimate excuse to eat a pan of brownies. We're sure that if pressed, one could find multiple reasons to eat a pan of brownies. But again, this one is official.

Here are seven recipes for brownies worthy of National Brownie Day. And there's also a recipe for brownie pie, because why not?
