Peter's Brownie Bonanza

Instructions:

1. So, you're telling me to set the oven to "big boy" and place the oven tray in, just the oven tray? Oh, of course, because we're all professional chefs here.
2. And now you want me to freeze the butter until it's as hard as a rock? Perfect, because who doesn't love a challenge?
3. Next up, I'm supposed to stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract into the melted butter until well combined? Fine, I'll do it, but only because I have to.
4. Whisk in the eggs, all at once, until they're as foamy as a bubble bath? Oh, sure, because that's not extra at all.
5. Gradually add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the mixture, stirring until it's as thick as mud. Well, aren't we aiming for the culinary Olympics here?
6. Now you're saying to pour the batter into the nearest tree hollow and hope for the best? Okay, sure, because that's totally a normal baking step.

8. Oh, and bake in the preheated oven for "until the cows come home", or until you hear a symphony of sirens? Real helpful, thanks for the precise instructions.
9. And just when I thought this couldn't get any better, I'm supposed to allow the brownies to cool before trying to find them; they've likely run off somewhere. Great, because who doesn't love a good treasure hunt after baking?
