Totally Awesome Shagadelic Brownies

Before you begin

Prep time: About forty minutes including oven time.
Cook time: Around twenty five minutes.
Yields: Depends on how small you cut them... I cut them to about twelve three inch servings.

Additional information:
This recipe came from one that I found on the back of a Hershey's cocoa box a really long time ago. I've made some additions of my own over time. I believe brownies are the solution to every problem a woman may encounter in her life time, and these do the trick better than any others I've tried. Served warm under vanilla ice cream... you won't know what hit you.

Ingredients

  • For brownies:
  • 2 sticks salted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs (I actually only use 2 because that will give you a more fudge like brownie, using 4 gives you more of a cake consistency. Use whichever depending on what type of brownie you like)
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey's is the best for this recipe)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • For chocolate glaze:
  • 12 oz of your favorite semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (the higher quality the better!)
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13X9 inch baking pan with butter. Stir butter, sugar and vanilla extract together. Add eggs; beat well with a spoon. Add remaining ingredients through a sifter. Stir to combine.

  2. Spread in prepared pan and bake until a butter knife inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it; approximately 25 minutes, but may be longer depending on your oven. Let cool a half hour.

  3. To glaze: melt chocolate in a saucepan over very low heat. Add butter and stir just until butter is melted and incorporated. Stir in cream. Glaze should be shiny and readily poured. Pour over brownies, spread and chill until set.

  4. Recipe can easily be halved (use a 9 inch square pan).
