SUPERNATURAL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Set the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper (bring parchment up sides of pan so there is a slight overhang) and grease with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave until bubbling. Add the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted. The heat from the butter should be enough to melt the chocolate completely, but if not, place the chocolate-butter mixture in the microwave and heat for 20 seconds or so, then whisk again. (Alternatively, combine the butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl and set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted.)
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; whisk until smooth (be sure no lumps of brown sugar remain). Whisk in the chocolate-butter mixture, then add the flour and whisk until the batter is uniform.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top has formed a shiny crust and the batter is moderately firm. Cool completely in the pan on a rack. If not serving right away, wrap pan in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature or refrigerated until the next day.
• To cut brownies, first lift them out of the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Separate the parchment from the edges. Using a sharp knife, trim away the edges and cut the brownies into 2-in squares.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, cut them into squares, wrap tightly in foil, and then place them in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

COCOA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
• In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
• Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

MEXICAN CINNAMON BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom of 8-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• Make brownie batter as directed on box. Stir in cinnamon. Spread in pan.
• Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

BROOKE'S BEST BOMBSHELL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into the egg mixture until blended. Stir in the chocolate morsels. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove, and cool pan on wire rack before cutting.

BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 11x7x2-inch pan.
• Melt 1 cup butter in a large saucepan. Add 2 cups light brown sugar and beat well to mix. Cool the mixture slightly, then beat in eggs and vanilla.
• Sift together all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Stir it into the wet ingredients, then add the walnuts or pecans (see Cook's Note). Mix well.
• Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a light gold. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out of pan and let brownies finish cooling on a rack.
• To Make Frosting: Dissolve coffee in the water. Cream 1/2 cup butter with confectioner's sugar. Beat it until light. Blend the coffee into sugar mixture and spread frosting over the brownies. When frosting has set, cut brownies into squares. Enjoy!

(PRIVATE) LEAN COMATOSE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 F and generously grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.
• Add the sugar and stir, keeping the heat on. Don't let the mixture bubble! It should be shiny, however.
• Remove from heat and add cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. (NOTE: If the margarine is salted, leave out the teaspoon of salt or your brownies will be far too salty!) Beat *very* well.
• Add the vanilla and stir more gently, then add the pureed bananas.
• Add the flour and gently stir together.
• Once the batter has cooled down a bit, add the unsweetened chocolate. CAUTION: the more coarsely the unsweetened chocolate is chopped, the sharper the brownies will be. If you like almost sinfully dark brownies, then be daring --.
• Add the chocolate chips if you want. This will also tone down the sharpness (but not by much!).
• Pour the dark batter into the greased baking dish, being careful to get every bit of the batter.
• Bake at 325 F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out "somewhat clean".
• Cool completely before cutting.
• Brace yourself for the chocolate coma and enjoy.

BEST COCOA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
• Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
• Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in the nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan.
• Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
• Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 25 squares.

COMATOSE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the sugar and stir, keeping the heat on. The mixture should have tiny bubbles and not be at a violent boil. We're not making candy, here.
• when the butter mixture appears shiny, remove from heat and add cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. (NOTE: You can use salted butter if you have it, just leave out the salt. Your brownies will be fine!) Beat *very* well.
• Add the vanilla and espresso and stir more gently. Make sure the batter has cooled enough before adding your eggs. If you wish you can temper your eggs while the batter is hot, but you really should let it cool down. . .
• Add the eggs all at once (or one at a time and beating well after each addition, Your preference) and beat well.
• Add the flour and gently stir together, then add the milk and gently stir until well combined. Your batter may look very thin and/or sticky. This is normal.
• The batter should be cool by now, enough to add your chocolate. Oh, the chocolate! NOTE: The more things you add, the drier the batter will be. The 1/4 cup milk is your safeguard against that. Add both the semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolates.
• Add the unsweetened chocolate and stir well. You'll need a strong arm to do this, but it'll be well worth it!
• Want to take it even further? Add the nuts, coconuts and raisins. If you added unsweetened chocolate the raisins will counteract nicely against it, and the coconut will add texture. Save 1/2 cup coconut to top the brownies with.
• Liberally grease a 9x13 baking pan with baking cooking spray -- and I do mean LIBERALLY.
• Pour (Or rather at this point -- spoon) the dark batter into the greased baking dish, being careful to get every bit of the powerful weapon you just created. Pat the batter so it's even. TIP: Use a silicone spatula for minimal sticking of the batter. Pat down so it's even, then top with remaining coconut.
• Caution: The batter (especially after all the additions) will be VERY HEAVY!
• Bake at 325 F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out "somewhat clean". NOTE: After all the additions, cooking time may take up to ONE HOUR.
• Cool completely before cutting. (Why: Fresh out of the oven, they won't cut properly and they will fall apart on you. After additions, the chocolate will all ooze everywhere. They MUST be completely cooled!).
• Brace yourself for the chocolate coma and enjoy.
