Chocolate Goodness

Nearly everyone loves chocolate. I've only known two people who didn't like it that much. So when we had a bake sale last week for Easter it wasn't a surprise that I was asked to bake and when I asked coworkers what to make the first response was brownies!

So here is my favorite brownie recipe, it's taken a long time to find the right one but I do so love this recipe!

Brownies

3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/3 cup plain flour
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped chocolate (optional)

Grease baking pan (13"x9") and pre heat oven to 350

Mix cocoa powder & baking soda, with 1/3 cup of the melted butter, add water. Stir in sugar, eggs and rest of the butter. Mix well.

Add flour and vanilla until mixed.

If you're adding the chopped chocolate add.

Pour into prepared baking pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. If you are using a smaller pan bake for longer. You want them to be done, but not well done. They should still be a bit fudgy.

Let cool and then cut into squares.
