Aunt Sharon's Best Brownies

Amythyst's Note:

I've had this recipe for years and years (wrangled it from my son's Godmother!) and it's a consistent, never-fail, chewy/fudgy piece of chocolate Heaven! It goes together very quickly, too!

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 20-24

Yield: 20.0 small b ...

• 1⁄3; cup butter
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs , lightly beaten
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup flour
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel (additional)

Directions:

1. Combine butter, sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat on medium and stir until sugar is melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add vanilla, eggs and 1 cup of chocolate morsels (I use Ghirardelli's) and stir until chocolate is melted.
3. In a medium sized bowl, combine baking soda, salt and flour, mix well. Add warm chocolate mixture and stir gently until combined.
4. Spray bottom of a 9"x13" baking pan with spray release of choice, then pour in the brownie batter. Wait a minute or two for the batter to even out over the pan, then sprinkle with the additional cup of chocolate morsels.
5. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
