Well, I can't take credit for this recipe, which may become a trend here. Though, I suppose most people who share recipes aren't the originators of said recipes, so I'll not obsess over my lack of recipe-creating genius.

I'll be honest. I have not yet met a brownie I haven't liked, though I'm a bit a simplist where brownies are concerned. There are some very good brownies out there that add nuts or cream cheese or peanut butter or whathaveyou, and I will eat them up, no problem. However, when I have a choice, they are always just plain ole brownies. Nothing fancy. Just warm gooey deliciousness.

So, since I'm not too particular so long as it's a brownie (seriously, I'm happy with the box mix when in a brownie-needing pinch), I will share Hubby's favorite brownie recipe. This recipe is from his mom - I don't know where she got it from, but when Hubby hears 'brownies', these are what he expects. This has become my go-to recipe for brownies ... I can make them from memory I've baked them so often! Enjoy!

Super Brownies


* 2 squares unsweetened chocolate (I like Baker's)
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 3/4 cup flour (I like White Lily)

Place chocolate and butter in microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 75% Power one minute at a time, stirring after each minute, until creamy and blended. Add sugar and mix well. Temper eggs in separate bowl, then add to chocolate mixture. Add vanilla and mix well. Add flour and stir until well blended.

Pour batter into buttered 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes - be careful not to overbake.
