Mom's Ultimate Brownies































I don't claim this often, but these are the BEST brownies you will ever, ever make.  You can burn all the other brownie recipes you have on file.  These are super chocolaty, studded with chocolate chips and topped with chocolate butter cream frosting.  They are dense and rich and will satisfy any chocolate craving with a big glass of milk.  Just perfect.

In a bowl, combine and stir until thickened:

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup melted butter

2 cups sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup melted butter

Then add:
1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt


Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.  (no more or brownies may fall apart when cut)  


Pour into greased 9x11 inch cake pan.  Bake 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven, or until brownies begin to pull away from sides or toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Do not over bake.  Cool in pan.

  8. The pictures have me absolutely convinced that these are the best brownies ever. I am absolutely going nuts not being able to eat chocolate any more because of my stupid allergy to it, so please forgive me if I use carob powder and chips in this recipe. But, I have GOT to make these!

  13. Made these today! Can't wait to prove how awesome they are to that reviewer on tasty kitchen! This recipe seems like a homemade-from-the-box type copycat thing, if you know what I mean.
