Brownies

These are simple and go with just about everything. You can eat them plain, serve with ice cream, or glaze with icing -- anyway you slice it they are a perfect little treat. I also like it because its a smaller recipe so you don't end up with 2 dozen brownies and feel bad if you can't finish them all before they go bad. I add chocolate chips to give it that little extra chocolatety-ness but if you want to leave them out or substitute nuts or other chips they will turn out just as great.

• 1/2 cup butter


• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate


• 1 cup sugar


• 2 large eggs


• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


• 1/3 cup flour


• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter and chocolate together in a medium pan over very low heat. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the flour. Add chocolate chips. Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.


Bake about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before cutting.
