Re: Musings on Random Musings
My wife has made 100s of this recipe: (She doesn't put the nuts on, hence the ick comment)
Brownies from 365 Great Chocolate Desserts by Natalie Haughton
Without a doubt - the best brownies ever. Very chocolatey, not very sweet.
Ingredients:
5 (1 oz) square unsweetened chocolate, cut up
2 sticks butter
1 3/4 C sugar (I only use 1 1/2C)
1/4 C light corn syrup
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1 C sifted flour
3/4 C chopped pecans (I NEVER use nuts)
1 C semisweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a 2 quart glass bowl, combine unsweetened chocolate and butter. Heat in a microwave oven on High for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until chocolate is melted and smooth when stirred.
2. with a fork, beat in sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Mix in salt and flour until well mixed.
3. Spread evenly in a greased, foil lined (and I grease the foil as well) 9 X 13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle nuts (ick) and chocolate chips over top. Bake 30 - 35 minutes, or until set. Do not overbake. Let cool before cutting into bars. (What I do - when they're cool, life the whole thing out by the foil, and then cut. You can then sort of peel them off the foil. Much easier.)
