Brownies! Oh chocolatie goodness.

I just ate a scrumptious moist rich brownie. It was everything a brownie should be. I have a favorite brownie recipe that, without fail, makes the best brownies ever. It is the same recipe that is in the Bakers Unsweetened Chocolate box. And here it is for all of you copy and pasters.
4oz unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup
butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon
1 cup flour
1 cup nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 and spray pam on a 9x13 pan.
Melt chocolate and butter in microwave in a large bowl. Stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and flour. Mix well. Spread in prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
This recipe says it makes 24, but if you are like me it will make 12 or so.
You can put chocolate chips on it when it first comes out of the oven and after they melt spread them around.
I have made a chocolate frosting and spread that on top but found it to sweet and rich.
Once I made Cream Cheese brownies by: Preparing as above using 4 eggs instead of 3. Spreading in prepared pan. Beat 1 (8oz package) softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons flour until well blended. Drop by spoonfuls evenly over brownie batter. Swirl with knife several times to marbleize. Bake 40 minutes. This was yummy but it took more than one bowl and more time. If you need a baked chocolate goodie and you need it now! skip the cream cheese.
Butter!!!!!! If you are making a dessert or something just for enjoyment, use butter. It is much better tasting than any of the fake fat. This is real fat and it is sooooo much better than any thing else. Don't cheat on your dessert, they are meant to be enjoyed and cannot truly be enjoyed unless you allow yourself to have the best and butter is the best tasting fat ever!
