One Bowl Brownies
Preheat Oven: 350 (325 for a glass pan)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 sticks butter (3/4c)
4 unsweetened baking squares (4oz)
Optional: a pour or so of 100 proof peppermint schnapps, bourbon or whiskey (1/4 cup-ish)
2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c flour
1 c chopped walnuts, optional (I absolutely loathe nuts in my dessert. I will never change.)
In a medium sauce pan, melt chocolate and butter on medium low until thoroughly blended. Mix in sugar. Pour in booze. Stir well on medium-low heat for a minute or so. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla and eggs, and then add the flour last (nuts if you wish, but really, why contaminate the chocolate?). Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
Serve hot over a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream.
