You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can reason it out this way:
If you divide everything in the recipe by +3+,
then that is 1/3 of the recipe and it will make
8 brownies.
------------
Now double all the ingredients. That makes the
recipe 2/3 of the original recipe and it will
make 16 brownies
