I have been meaning to make these for a long time now, I've had all the ingredients in the fridge/cupboard, however, I just never got around to it....but today (in Michigan, at least!) it's Sweetest Day. Basically, it's a Hallmark Holiday kinda like Valentine's Day. I do believe it's a Midwest thing... Anyway, we're going to my sister and brother-in-law's house today and along with a pre-made lasagna, I'm bringing these babies along...it will be a nice sweet surprise for dessert! These turned out great, the perfect balance between cakey and chewy...I also added 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter and a half cup of Heath bits.
Hershey's Best Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa or HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Cocoa
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts(optional) - I didn't have any, but added chocolate chips and Heath bits instead
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
Place butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with spoon after each addition. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in nuts, if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan.
