German's Sweet Chocolate Brownies
Melt over very low heat - one 4-ounce package of Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate and 1/4 cup butter. Let it cool some.
I used the mixer but you could do all this by hand.
Mix together:
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat in the chocolate-butter mixture.
Stir in 1/2 flour. I used 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry and 1/4 cup all-purpose.
Stir in 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts. I used walnuts.
Add to greased 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper in it.
Bake in pre-heated 350º f. oven for 25-30 minutes.
Carefully remove the parchment paper and cool the brownies on a cooling rack.
These were excellent!
I've never used a box! Honestly all the brownie recipes I have are easy and fun to make. Oh, and delicious, of course! haha
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Good to see you. Have a great week. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh, yum! I will try this. While I keep a box mix on hand, I love making brownies from good old scratch. Thanks for this recipe, Nan.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like them, and honestly are as easy as a mix!
DeleteYou have really chosen a classic. My seventh grade cooking class made this recipe, and it's been a favorite ever since.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
A classic I had never made! haha
DeleteIt is interesting to me how simple so many recipes are without using the box mix, and they taste so much better without all those preservatives and who knows what-all chemicals they add. But I think the box has the psychological advantage...
ReplyDeleteI guess I am quite amazed that so many people use a mix!
DeleteI make these brownies like this all the time -- I have an unsweetened chocolate recipe and this, and they're basically the same except for the amount of added sugar. They are so fast to put together and so good.
ReplyDeleteBrownies! They look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI just made brownies to take to our family Father's Day celebration today. I just use a mix but you have to cook them less than what the recipe box says. Also, cut them and put them into cupcake papers, presentation means so much, especially with my baking! LOL!
Honestly, this takes hardly any time to make!
DeleteThey look delicious! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey were!
DeleteI read your post yesterday (Sunday) morning in bed, while O.K. was making coffee for us - good job he brought chocolate cookies along with the coffee :-D
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling!
DeleteI will be making :)
ReplyDeleteand making your
Orange cookies today...
You sure do love those cookies!
DeleteI might try this recipe in our new RV oven! I know my hubby would be very happy if I did. :)
ReplyDeleteYour header picture is just stunning. I've never seen such a perfect peony! So very lovely, Nan.
Hope you make them then! The peonies were gorgeous this year.
Deletemade last night
ReplyDeleteand
a winner
thank you always for your recipes
I'm delighted!!
DeleteI bake very little these days (because if I do we eat it all) but I love brownies (and now we are back in Oregon and can share things with three younger generations who don't have to worry so much -- or at all -- about sugar and calories...). yummm.... next week!!
ReplyDeleteOr you can stop worrying and eat them all yourselves!! haha
DeleteI am a brownie fanatic but had gone quite a while without making any and was stunned to find the baking chocolate packages had shrunk! There used to be 8 squares per box, I swear!
ReplyDeleteI was brought up on the Mystery Chef's brownie recipe. I am away from home so can't attach it but it is moist and sweet, not too thick or cakey.
I'll look up that recipe. There are several here on the blog. In recipes under the blog header picture.
