Small and Selfish Brownie

got a request from someone, she wants a brownie recipe but is afraid that most of the recipe won’t fit her small oven, as you can find many recipes use a big pan like 23x33 cm (9x13 inch). So, I think about this recipe, the size of the pan is just 16X16 cm, a very small one. The recipe from ................the book that I bought a long time ago (I really want to try this brownie recipe and this is the reason for buying this book, now the book serve its purpose). This is a light texture brownie but full-flavored (I use 70% cocoa chocolate but you can use other kinds of chocolate), I almost finish all the brownies by now, so can I call this brownie “selfish brownie” because I don’t have enough to share with anyone.
