Brownies

Still no little one, so Zo and I made brownies today. I was cruising through some food blogs and came across this new one to me, World on a Plate. Beautiful photos and this delicious recipe for brownies from scratch. It was super easy! We have been snacking on them all afternoon. Enjoy!

From World on a Plate:

Nestle Chocolatier Brownies

Quite possibly this is one of the best brownie recipes around. The brownie is rich, moist and chewy. Clearly many mothers did not bake in the style of the "moms" at Nestle! This final recipe shared here is a slight variation from the one on the package and from the product’s website, verybestbaking.com where there is a cookie recipe that I’ll be trying later this recipe with the 52% morsels.

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

2 tbsp water

10 oz. pkg of Nestle Chocolatier 62% bittersweet morsels

2 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup AP flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 325º F. Line 9-inch-square baking pan with foil; grease.

HEAT in a double boiler the package of morsels, sugar, butter and water over low heat, stirring constantly, until morsels and butter are melted. The consistency and color should look like vanilla pudding. Pour into medium bowl. The liquid should be warm but not steaming hot before proceeding to the next step. Stir in eggs, one at a time, until mixed in; add in vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix well.

POUR into prepared baking pan.

BAKE for 16 to 20 minutes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky. Cool in pan on wire rack. Lift brownie from pan with foil to cutting board. Carefully remove foil. Cut.
