World's Chocolatiest Brownies

JenniferElizabeth's Note:

I found this recipe on another site and could not find it here so I thought I'd share. These are the best brownies I have ever had. Once you try these you will never use a box mix again! They are so moist and delicious and will definitely satisfy the strongest of chocolate/sweets cravings! They are fudgy and chewy and not at all cake like. I usually make these for birthdays or holidays and they disappear with in minutes! Try them I guarantee you'll love them as my family does! **you can easily double the recipe

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 16

• ¾ cup sugar
• ¾ cup butter
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• ¾ cup flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside. In saucepan, over medium heat, bring sugar, butter and water to boil.
2. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup chips and vanilla or any flavoring you like or both! Stir till smooth. Cool 5 minutes. Beat in eggs 1 at a time until well mixed. Add flour mixture and combine.
3. Add 1 cup (I reserve a handful so I can sprinkle on top -- you don't have to) chips and combine quickly so as not to completely melt the chips ( if they do -- it is OK they still come out great!).
4. Pour into a greased, parchment lined 8x8 square pan. I noticed that the parchment paper helps a great deal.
5. Since I doubled it, I used an 11 x 17 pan.
6. Bake in a preheated oven set at 325. for 35 minutes. (if doubling it let bake for an additional 3-5 minutes). Cool completely.
