For Serious Chocolate Lovers Only

Around our house we are constantly seeking for the 'Best Ever' of our favorite items.


For instance, a little store named Weiser's Markets near our house has the Best Ever Cream-filled Donuts.  Lapp Valley Farms has the Best Ever Chocolate Milk.  We also found how to make the Best Ever French Toast.


I think I may have found the recipe for the Best Ever Chocolate Brownies.  Actually, these were brought to a picnic by another mom and I begged her to send me the recipe.


Be warned.  These are very, very rich.  These are for serious chocolate lovers.  They are amazing.


Best Ever Chocolate Brownies

1 cup butter, melted
3 cups sugar
1 T. vanilla
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
1 tsp. salt 
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x13 pan.  Cream together butter & sugar.  Add vanilla & eggs. Add dry ingredients.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Bake 35-40 minutes.


They are so dense, moist, and a bit naughty.

Also, I wasn't able to share this picture yesterday, but here is my bench painting in progress...

I did finish the first coat yesterday.  I still need to lightly sand it and give it a second coat.  Hopefully, I'll have a picture of the finished product for you on Monday.  So far, I'm really liking the results!

Oh, and no weight loss update this Friday....because actually I gained a couple pounds back.  (See recipe above).  Anyway, next week is a new week!
Have a great weekend!

  5. I have made those brownies for a few years. They are one of my families favorites. We love them with ice cream also. Might as well add a few more calories.
