Brownie Points....

Here's something quick, easy and a sure crowd pleaser...made with regular 'in my pantry' ingredients. I wouldn't say its necessarily healthy but its so much more wholesome than a box of brownies from the store. How can you go wrong with 5 ingredients- butter, eggs, sugar, flour, cocoa, vanilla and baking powder...ok that's 7.
I love recipes that use one dish, require no appliances and can be whipped up in 10 minutes (plus baking time) ! And its foolproof at least in my kitchen - all credits to Hersheys.

Chocolate brownies with white chocolate chips

 

 Ingredients: (Recipe can be doubled, baking time stays the same)

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine , melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch square baking pan.

2. Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl. Add eggs; beat well with spoon. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in nuts, if desired. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. (This whole step takes less than 5 minutes for me, don't over beat the batter, just make sure its well integrated.)

3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
