Catch the Spoon

Yes, “Brownies of Agreement”. It took almost seven years for Mer and I to find a brownie recipe we both love. Then we turned it upside down with bacon…but that’s another story…er, recipe.

Brownies of Agreement

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
• 3/4 cup salted butter plus extra for the pan
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly butter a 13×9″ pan. Combine butter and chocolate in a large glass bowl. Heat over a double boiler (or in the microwave), stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are melted and combined. Cool slightly. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing well. Add eggs. Add flour and stir until just combined. Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are slightly wrinkled and skewer inserted in center comes out moist and crumby. Cool until bottom of the pan is barely warm to the touch. Invert onto large cutting board and cut into squares. Yields 16-18 generously-sized squares.
