So in honor of National Brownie Day I decided to put up a wonderful recipe for Brownies. This too can make a great holiday treat for your family and friends. Enjoy!
Ingredients
* 1 cup margarine or butter
* 2 cups sugar
* 2 teaspoons vanilla
* 4 eggs, slightly beaten
* 1 cup all-purpose flour or unbleached flour
* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 8 ounces (8 squares) semi-sweet chocolate (coarsely chopped)
* 1 cup pecans, chopped
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9-inch pan. In medium saucepan over low heat, melt margarine. Add sugar, vanilla and eggs; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour, cocoa and salt; mix well. Add chocolate and pecans. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until set. Cool. Cut into 36 bars and for a special touch for the holidays sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top of the brownies.
