Easy As A Mix Homemade Brownies

1. 1

   Butter and flour a 9x13-inch pan. Set pan aside. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. 2

   Melt butter in the top of a double boiler, or if you are lazy and willing to take a risk of burning your chocolate, melt the butter over very low heat in a saucepan. Once butter is melted add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted. My parents always use a double boiler. I never do. I just heat it in a saucepan and make sure to watch the chocolate very carefully and not to burn it.

3. 3

   Remove the pan from the heat. Add the 2 cups of sugar and stir to combine. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition. This is important. The brownies taste better if you love them a bit. Add the vanilla. Stir in the flour a cup at a time until combined.

4. 4

   Add the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle over the top. Stir to make sure they are evenly distributed. Then pour into the 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the brownies.

5. 5

   Bake for about 30 minutes or until the brownies have pulled away from the side of the pan and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out with just a few crumbs. Be careful not to overcook.
