Fudge Brownies

I have been getting a lot of requests for this recipe lately, so I thought I would kick off my blog by sharing it with everyone.  Make these fudge brownies you own by adding rolos, m&ms or, my personal favorite, reeses peanut butter cups, on top.

Yields: 16 large brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 package chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. Lightly grease 9’x13′ baking pan with cooking oil
3. Combine melted butter, oil, and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl.  Whisk well for about a minute.  Add eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in color
4. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt; gently stir the dry and wet ingredients until just combined (don’t over stir)
5. Add chocolate chips and stir
6. Pour batter into prepared baking pan
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center of the brownies in the pan doesn’t jiggle anymore (the brownies will keep baking in the hot pan out of the oven)
8. Remove and allow to cool before cutting

Enjoy!
