Basic Brownies


Sometimes you don't have to go far to find a great recipe - this one came from the inside of the baking chocolate box.

 Baker's One Bowl Brownies
From the inside of Baker's Unsweetened Baking Chocolate Squares (with very few changes)

4 oz unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup pecans or walnuts

Step 1. Microwave butter and chocolate for 2 minutes, then mix until the chocolate has melted completely. Stir in sugar.

Step 2. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour and nuts. Spread into a 9x9 baking sheet that is lined with foil and greased.


Check out how thick the batter gets after you add the eggs!

Step 3. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Let them cool, then cut them into squares.

  12. Hi Anonymous, I'm sorry that you were disappointed with the brownies but thank you for the feedback!

    Let me know if you have some favorite alterations to make recipes less sweet and more chocolatey - I'm sure not everyone reading this has as big of a sweet tooth as me =)

  15. Hi Carolyn :) By far I think you're the friendliest baker on the web! When I've communicated with previous bakers giving comments or asking them how to do a certain cupcake swirl, they would just ignore me or wouldn't want to share. I'm glad you're taking time to reply all your comments. Shows that you really care :) Kudos to you, dearie! Keep it up and good luck!
