Boxed Brownies … never again.  Well, not that I made them very often anyways.  I’m not sure why but brownies is something I never really made much.  A while ago I found a recipe that I thought looked pretty easy so I wrote it in my little recipe book of favourites (which I don’t usually write in until I make the recipe and see that it is book worthy).  Well my friends, this recipe is definitely a keeper!  They were absolutely delicious.  I couldn’t stop eating them.
Thank goodness I have a little more freedom with what I can eat now (see my Dukan Diet Series).  I had company over the other night so I made them for dessert.  Wow!  So good!

{check the bottom of this post for an awesome brownie contest}Now that you know they are awesome brownies, I’ll fill you in on the recipe.  It is so easy.

2 C of sugar
1 C of cocoa
1 C of flour
4 eggs
1 C  butter or margerine
pinch of salt

1 – mix dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa)
2 – mix together butter, eggs, and sugar
3 – mix dry and wet ingredients together
4 – pour in a greased pan and bake for 25 – 35 minutes at 350.
6 – Let cool for 10 min in pan then remove to rack
5 – Ice with chocolate icing

Notes:
– For the cocoa I used Hershey’s brand, but you can use whatever you have.
– I used whole wheat flour instead of white.
– I ended up putting everything together at once because I didn’t follow the directions and it turned out just fine – just incase that happens to you.
– I used chocolate whipped icing from the container, but you can use whatever kind you like and I’m sure it would be just as good.
– I made the icing a little fancy looking, but you can just slather it on with a knife too!

Enjoy!
