• Icing for Best Ever Brownies:
• 1 1/3 cup icing sugar.
• 1/3 cup cocoa.
• 3 tbsp butter or margarine.
• 1 tbsp & 2 tsp hot water
• Beat all ingredients together, add more liquid if necessary.
• Spread over brownies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Butter the foil.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the flour mixture, and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack. Use the foil overhang to help lift them out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Melt butter or margarine. Add sugar and mix well. Cool.
• Add eggs and vanilla, blend well. Add the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips.
• Put into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Melt butter and chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove top of double boiler and stir sugar, flour, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract into chocolate mixture until batter is smooth. Fold walnuts into batter; spread into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cut brownies while warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a 9 x 12 pan (I find ceramic works awesomely) with oil or butter. Set aside.
• Combine melted butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl.
• Add eggs one at a time; mix each in evenly before adding the next one.
• Add cocoa in 1/4 cup measures, dumping into a sieve and shaking into bowl to ensure no cocoa-y lumps. Make sure cocoa is well integrated before adding next 1/4 cupful.
• Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
• Add nuts and chocolate morsels and work well into batter.
• Pour batter into pan and shake, shake, shake to make sure everything settles.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of the pan.
• Cool at least 20 minutes before trying.
• Top should be crunchy and brownie should be warm and gooey.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-by-2-inch pan.

• Add the baking powder and salt to flour and sift. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture; add the vanilla and nuts, if using. Stir to combine.
• Spread the dough evenly in the pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 30 minutes, cut into squares and enjoy.
