I learned this recipe in an 8th grade "World of Foods" class almost 25 years ago. I was visiting my Mom over the Christmas holiday one year and she was delivering goodies to friends from church. I kept looking at one of the women thinking I knew her. I finally asked if she had been a teacher and she said yes, a Home Ec teacher at West Jr. High. OH MY GOSH! You're the one that gave us the microwave brownie recipe!! I was able to thank her 13 years later and tell her how that recipe had gotten us through many late study nights in college. It is the fastest and easiest way to a homemade chocolate fix you will ever find. {picture shown made with dark cocoa and semi-sweet chocolate chips}
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp real vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa (I like to quickly sift mine to prevent any lumps)
1 cup flour
Melt butter, add sugar, eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add cocoa and flour and blend well. Pour into glass 8 inch square pan or silicone baker (round or square). Microwave on high 5-6 minutes.
I have added chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, nuts, even mini marshmallows to this recipe for something even more rich and decadent. I have used dark cocoa (Ghiradelli or Hershey has one out now) for a very deep and rich brownie. For something truly over the top, drop a few large tablespoons of frosting while they are hot and let the frosting soften or melt. Spread over brownie and let completely set and cool.
