Brownies I

When I make this for friends, I add nuts. When I make this for myself, I add raisins. I've tried M&M candies, toffee bits, and candy confetti -- it's very flexible.

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 4 eggs
• ⅔ cup butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 6 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Step 2

Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double-boiler, stirring sporadically. When melted and combined, add the sugar and eggs, and stir until combined. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder into the pan; stir until combined. Stir in the nuts (or raisins, or M&M candies, or toffee bits, etc.).

Step 3

Spread the batter in the pan, smoothing it into the corners. Bake for about 35 minutes, but don't let it over-bake. Cool before cutting.
