" Whatever Floats Your Boat" Brownies!
By: Karen=^..^=
Jun 25, 2002
These are absolutely the chewiest, moistest, fudgiest brownies ever! I have tried adding so many different things to the batter, and they ALWAYS comes out great. They are also great without ANY add-ins! BUT by varying the add-ins, you can make different brownies every week (or day!!) SUPER EASY PREP! So, add "whatever floats your boat" and you will not believe how yummy they come out 
Oh, and the recipe doubles just fine--use a 9 x 13 inch pan instead and add a few more minutes of baking!
SERVES 16
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT
- 1-2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet, white, butterscotch, peanut butter) or raisins or chopped maraschino cherry or chopped nuts or M&M' or Reese's pieces or miniature marshmallow
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F.2
Grease an 8 inch square pan or line with foil.3
In a medium bowl combine melted butter and cocoa and stir until cocoa is dissolved.4
Add sugar and mix well.5
Add eggs one at a time and stir until well combined.6
Stir in vanilla, flour and salt until you no longer see any flour (do not overmix).7
Fold in "WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT"!8
Spread in pan and bake for approximately 25 minutes.9
DO NOT OVER-BAKE -- your brownies will come out dry. Adjust time/temp accordingly for your oven. If you do the knife/toothpick test, it should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.10
Cool completely before cutting into squares.11
For vegetarian omit the marshmallows.12
For double recipe, bake in 9x12 pan and add 5 minutes to baking time.

These are the best brownies I have ever eaten. You can easily double the recipe if you want. Sometimes I cook mine a few minutes longer cause DH likes them a little chewier and not gooey. I have added many different things to these and they turn out great every time. My favorite addition is actually a topping. I just use 8 oz. cream cheese, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup powdered sugar and one egg. I beat that mixture and pour on top or swirl in. Mint is good in these as well. I usually line pan with buttered foil for easy clean up. If you like brownies even just a little bit, you have got to try this recipe out. Everyone will be asking for the recipe!!

Oh,,boy! Our new "favorite brownie" recipe!! It sounded so good I knew with the grandkids here I'd better make a double batch...glad I did! Followed the recipe exactly and my add in's were Reese's Peanut butter chips and mini-marshmellows. This is really soooooooo good, a chocoholic's dream!! I actually hid the pan so they wouldn't eat them all! I used a 9 x 13" pan for the double batch and it took about 5 min. longer to bake. Very moist and chewy. Thanks so much Karen,,this is a real keeper Kitty
