Ultimate Brownies

By á-25138

I don't claim this often, but these are the BEST brownies you will ever, ever make. You can burn all the other brownie recipes you have on file. These are super chocolaty, studded with chocolate chips and topped with chocolate butter cream frosting. They are dense and rich and will satisfy any chocolate craving with a big glass of milk. Just perfect.

Ingredients

• In a bowl, combine and stir until thickened:
• 3/4 cup cocoa
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• Add in order listed:
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Then add:
• 1 1/3 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips. (no more or brownies may fall apart when cut)
• Pour into greased 9x11 inch cake pan. Bake 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until brownies begin to pull away from sides or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake. Cool in pan.
