This is a simple homemade brownie recipe that makes 16 servings. Brownies 3/4 cup flour 3 eggs 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) Frosting 1/2 cup semi-sweet chips 1 tablespoon butter Brownie Instructions 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8×8 baking dish. (Tip: Instead of greasing the pan, line the baking dish with aluminum foil and grease the foil. When your brownies are done, you can just simply lift them out of the dish.) 2. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and chocolate on low heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture is smooth, set aside to cool. 3. While the chocolate is cooling, mix the sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a medium size bowl. Blend until fluffy. 4. Then add the flour, salt, and chocolate. Mix well. 5. Spread the batter in the baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 36-38 minutes. Once done, allow the brownies to cool for one hour before adding the frosting. Frosting Instructions Don’t prepare the frosting until just before you’re ready to put it on the brownies. 1. In a small saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Stir constantly until smooth and fluid. 2. Drizzle or spread the frosting on top of the brownies. Let cool. Now you are ready to slice your brownies into 2 inch squares. Serve with a tall glass of milk… Yummy!
