It's Like I Have Never Tasted A Brownie Before

This recipe will completely change your opinion/tastebuds about how a brownie is suppossed to taste. It is that good. Trust me. This pregnant lady knows her brownies.


The Best Brownies: From Southern Living

• 4 (1 oz) unsweetened chocolate baking squares (or you can substitute 3/4 c. cocoa and 1/4 c. oil)
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp. salt

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line bottom and sides of an 8 inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2-3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease with foil.
2. Microwave chocolate squares (or cocoa and oil) and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30 second intervals. Whisk in granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking just until blended after each addition. Whisk in flour, vanilla, and salt.
3. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
4. Bake at 350 for 40-44 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack ( about 1 hour). Lift brownies from pan, suing foil sides as handles. Gently remove foil, and cut brownies into 16 squares.

Seriously. Can it get any easier OR more delicious?! Did you notice you don't even need a mixer? I may never make brownies from a box again.

I also may gain an unprecedented amount of weight in my last seven weeks, but every bite will be worth it!
