Late Night Treat

Some would not consider 7:30 late, but for my littles it is time to get ready for bed. 
 Instead, we are playing games and waiting for hot, chewy brownies!  
While they are baking, I thought I would share the recipe.
Simple, chocolate goodness!

Chewy Cocoa Brownies
1 2/3 cups of granulated sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
2 Tbs. water
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa~I happen to have Hershey's
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts~love pecans, but left them out tonight
Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350゜F.  Grease 13 x 9 baking pan.
Combine sugar, butter and water in large bowl.  Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.  
Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl; stir into sugar mixture.  
Stir in nuts.  Spread into prepared baking pan.

Bake for 18-25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky. 
Cool completely in pan on wire rack.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Cut into bars.
Makes 2 dozen brownies.

ABSOLUTELY delicious with vanilla ice cream! 
Recipe compliments of Nestle Toll House Cocoa~my dear friend, former roomate and HOME EC teacher calls me the "bag lady".  Why not use the recipes that are tried and true!  Found this recipe a few years ago on my box of cocoa and my Sweetheart and littles LOVE them!
Good Night and SWEET Dreams!

  2. We use a similar recipe that also came off a box of cocoa. :) Those recipes are often the best. Thanks for sharing.
