Fudge Brownies

This is the brownie recipe I grew up with. I've never tasted any others quite like it. It's very simple and not overly sweet, but is definitely sure to give you your chocolate fix :) I'm posting this because I wanted to share it with all you, but also because I wanted to see the nutritional info, hehe :) We always use heaping tablespoons of cocoa and just dump in the chocolate chips until it looks good. I have also tried putting a teaspoon of cinnamon in, and it was delicious :)

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 16

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, plus
• 1  tablespoon butter (See note below)
• 1  cup sugar
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 2  eggs
• 3  tablespoons  cocoa
• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3  ounces  semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1/4 package)

Directions

1. Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla.
2. Add eggs.
3. Then carefully stir in cocoa and flour (stir slowly, they like to puff and make a mess!).
4. Bake in greased 8x8 pan (glass works best) for 25 minutes @ 350*.
5. NOTE: Instead of the cocoa powder and extra T butter, you can use 2 squares bitter baking chocolate.
