This is no joke.
YUM.
As we approach the end of the year, I realize that I've done a relatively good job of sticking with this year's "from scratch" resolutions, which I do plan to continue into next year. I made all of our birthday cakes and frostings from scratch, and our popsicles and ice creams, too. I never got around to homemade pasta or bread, but there's always next year.
However, I will never, ever, ever buy a box of brownie mix again. Ever.
I was picking up something at Kohls for my dad the other day, and there was a sale on the "Kohls Cares" table - you know, those $5 children's books and cookbooks and stuffed animals that donate a portion of the sales to a charity somewhere? Well, this cookbook, The Mom 100, was discounted to $2.50. Had. to. get. it. Because I love cookbooks. The way some women love purses and shoes.
I've really had a lot of fun trying out some of the recipes, but this takes the cake. Or the brownie?
You need:
2 sticks unsalted butter (save the wrappers to grease the pan)
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter and chocolate in a medium sized saucepan over low hear and let melt together, stirring until smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Blend in the vanilla. Beat in the eggs once at a time, rapidly, so that they don't cook. Blend in the flower. Pour into a greased baking pan. Cook for 25-30 minutes.
