#866 - One Bowl Scratch Brownies

(by Shirley McNevich)

4 squares Baker's UNSWEETENED baking chocolate
1 1/2 sticks butter
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 squares Baker's semi-sweet baking chocolate (melted according to box directions)

In a microwave safe bowl add the four squares unsweetened baking chocolate and the butter--microwave on high for 2 minutes or until the butter is melted. Remove from microwave and stir with a spoon until all chocolate is melted. Add the white sugar, vanilla--stir. In a cup, add the eggs and beat with a fork--pour egg mixture into brownie mixture--stir. Add flour--stir. Add nuts--stir. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until inserted toothpick (in the center) comes out with crumbs. Do not overbake or they will end up dry rather than chewy. Cool completely. Melt the 2 semi-sweet chocolate squares and drizzle over the top before cutting.
