I usually use a box to make brownies, but there has been a time or two when I want brownies and don't have my usual box in the pantry. Waiting for Logan to finish his orthodontic appointment, I stumbled upon this recipe and decided it's worth a try the next time there's no box in sight.
INGREDIENTS
4 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate baking squares
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2-3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil.
- Microwave chocolate squares and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or 'til melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals.
- Whisk in granulated and brown sugars.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition.
- Whisk in flour, vanilla, and salt. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-44 minutes or 'til a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour).
- Lift brownies from pan, using foil sides as handles.
- Gently remove foil, and cut brownies into 16 squares.
