   5. Bake at 350u00b0F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. If you make half a batch, it only takes about 20 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan.

   6. See my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Icing for Brownies recipe. Pour the icing onto the brownies when they are still slightly warm and add extra nuts if desired. Instead of the icing, you can use a caramel topping like the kind used for ice cream.
