FUDGE Brownies

  These brownies are not only fudgy they are F-U-D-G-Y! (apparently according to spell check fudgy is not a word, oh well I'm sticking with it) They have a dense, moist texture definitely not cake like brownies! More like pieces of fudge! I almost wish I drank milk because you might need a good quart of milk to get them down!
I don't know about your house but in our house a 9X13 pan of brownies might yield, oh maybe 4 - 6 servings lol well these we cut into 2" little squares!

Part of the heavy chocolate taste is my own fault.  I was in a big rush and I just poured the cocoa out of the can into the measuring cup, I'm thinking I should have sifted it first then measured! I literally had about 5 minutes to get them in the oven!!

If you like chocolate you should like these! *hint* maybe sift the cocoa!

Let's get started:
melt
 (recipe called for butter I almost always use margarine!)
 
add
 
stir :o)
can't get any more simple than that!
 
eggs & vanilla in the mixer ~ give them a spin
 
very slowly ~ tiny amount at a time add the butter/ sugar mixture to the eggs
seriously don't rush this step you don't want scrambled eggs!!
 
dry ingredients ~ give it a stir
 
This is before it is cooked ... you'll notice it looks about the same after it is cooked it is soooooo thick it doesn't really move while cooking! I forgot a picture of the chocolate chips!
 
Cooked! See not much different!
 
Thick ~ heavy ~ dense
 pick an adjective!
 
 
RECIPE!!
 
2 sticks of margarine
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 T vanilla
1 1/4 cup cocoa powder (see my mistake)
1/2 t salt
1 t baking powder
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups milk chocolate chocolate chips
 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Grease a 9X13 pan
 
In a medium sauce pan melt the margarine and add the sugar
stir ~ Make sure you don't burn it! Cook for a few minutes
Crack your eggs and put in your mixer bowl along with the vanilla
give them a spin to combine
S L O W L Y
add hot mixture
Did I mention SLOW???
Let them go while you measure out the dry ingredients
Add the dry to the wet
mix until all combined
Add the chocolate chips ~ stir by hand!
Pour into your greased pan
Bake for about 28 - 30 minutes!
Let cool
&
Grab some milk!!!!
