Second, hide them. Let them cool until they become harden. 
Third pour some vegetable oil into a fryer with a basket or can use a pot and a slotted or mesh straining spoon, heat the oil to your normal frying temp. 
Fourth cut brownies into bite size squares.When oil is at desired temp put squares into oil and let fry for 3 mins.Take out with spoon or basket and let drain on paper towels.

In a 5 or 6 quart pot add tomato sauce and paste, brown on medium high heat for 20 minutes stirring constantly not to burn. Stir in water.
