Brownies to die for....

I have a cookbook that was given to my son when he was about 4.  ( Thanks auntie Lesley!)   You know one of those kids alphabet cookbooks.  It's a cute book but we never used it much but we did find out that it housed one of the best from scratch brownie recipies EVER!  So easy and simple, it makes just enough. No leftovers. Whoever has leftover brownies???

Ff is for Fudge Brownies

1/4 cup butter
6 oz simisweet chocolate chips (1/2 a usual pkg)
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup Flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup nuts, if you like.  We don't like nuts in our brownies so I add another 1/2 cup chocolate chips...Makes them extra good!

On the stove top melt butter and chocolate chips together (the 6 oz), over low heat, and stir constantly.  Remove pot from heat and stir in everything else....... except extra chips or nuts.  Continue stirring until it's nice and smooth.  Now you can add in the extra chips or the nuts.  Pour into greased 8x8 square pan.  Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Let them cool completely before cutting.  Ha ha Recipe says to cut into 20.  I only cut mine into nine.  Guess that's why they don't last
