My understanding of the female mind is as follows:
When I'm down - feed me chocolate
When I'm bored - feed me chocolate
When I'm celebrating - feed me chocolate
When I finally get the kids down for a nap - feed me lots of chocolate
So - In honor of our chocolate addictions, I am throwing out to you one of the best brownie recipes of all time.
I have been making these since I first got married to the hubs over 12 years ago and they are always amazing.
The name says it all.
Take a break. Whip out the mixer and have yourself a treat.
FAVORITE BROWNIES RECIPE
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
3/4 Cup Butter - softened
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla (I always go all out and buy madagascar bourbon vanilla extract - totally worth the splurge)
3 eggs
3/4 Cup flour
1/2 Cup cocoa
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Cup chocolate chips
1 Cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar, butter, and vanilla; add eggs. Combine dry ingredients, then add to sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Spread in an 8 inch square pan. Bake for 35 minutes.
These taste best if you really let them cool and set up. Super soft and thick and chocolatey!
Yep. They are awesome.
