Brownie Points Recipes

BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.
• In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
• To Make Frosting: Combine 3 tablespoons softened butter, 3 tablespoons cocoa, honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup confectioners' sugar. Stir until smooth. Frost brownies while they are still warm.

BROWNIE POINTS!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Lightly spray a 9-inch square pan with oil.
• In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In large bowl, combine chocolate chips and vanilla.
• In saucepan, combine oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp of water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Pour hot mixture over the chips and stir well. Add egg and egg white, and stir. Mix in the flour mixture. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for 20- 25 minutes. Make sure not to overcook! These should be slightly underdone for nice, chewy brownies. Cut while still warm from the oven into 1-inch squares (or diamonds), and cool before removing from pan.

BROWNIE POINTS' CHEWY BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º F.
• Melt the butter with the chocolate and the salt. You can do this on the stovetop or in the microwave (or be really creative and leave it out in the sun or use a thermonuclear bomb).
• When it has all melted leave it to cool to room temperature.
• In a mixer, combine the sugar with the eggs until fluffy and creamy.
• Beat in the vanilla and add the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Fold in the flour.
• Spray the wells of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray or use mini liners.
• Fill each well 3/4 of the way full.
• Push on any desired add-ons, like nuts, candied fruit or sprinkles.
• If you are actually following directions and using a mini-muffin pan, then bake for 25 minutes. Otherwise, if you've decided to bung this into a square cake pan and bake like regular brownies, then bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Keep in mind that if you make this as you would regular brownies and not as the mini-muffins, they will not be as darling as they are meant to be.
