Hello my lovely friends π
Last week/weekend it was time for our monthly fun and delicious Bake-Along. π

So here’s the post that falls in the category ‘She also ran baked’ π
I have been reading a lot of the wonderful baking posts…so, yes, I do believe I’m the last one!
The lovely Tracy, quilter, baker, author of It’s a T-Sweets Day hosted another Bake-Along.
This month’s star-baker was Tami over at Tanglewood KnotsΒ πTami baked her devine looking ‘Chocolate covered Peppermint Patties’, and asked everyone for their favorite Chocolate recipe.
Well…Hello….Say ‘Chocolate’ and I’m there! π
Since most of you have already seen/bakedΒ my favorite chocolate recipe (Chili/Chocolate Bread ) I decided to follow Tracy’s Brownie delight!
Now, honestly, I had sworn to never make Brownies from scratch again. I was convinced that the only good Brownie is the one out of a box. But Tracy was very convincing, so I gave this one more try.
What can I say? By golly she is right!Β πNever again will I bake brownies using a mix!
These devilish things are sooooooo good! I can’t even begin to describe it!
Don’t believe me? Here’s the recipe…go ahead! Try it!
Ingredients:
β’ β’ 1c salted butter βnot margarine
β’ β’ 5 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
β’ β’ 2c sugar
β’ β’ 3 eggs
β’ β’ 2 tsp vanilla
β’ β’ 1 1/2c flour
β’ β’ *optional 1c chopped nuts
Combine butter, sugar, cocoa, and eggs. Β Mix until smooth. Add flour, vanilla, and nuts. Β The batter will be thick and light brown. Β Spoon into a greased 8Γ8 pan . They will be thick. Cook on the middle rack of Β a 350* oven for 40-45 min. Β Start checking at 35 min. Β They are done when a knife comes out clean but just barely clean. Β Do not over cook.
I baked them for 42 minutes (convection oven).
They’re ready for the oven….

After 20 minutes the house filled with a wonderful chocolate-y fragrance. I could hardly wait to pull them out of the oven. After checking a few times, the knife finally came out (almost) clean.
Hubby and I nibbled on them all evening…until we agreed that we have to move them out of sight. Good thing we did or there wouldn’t have been enough left for a nice picture! π
