Ultimate "Worst" Brownies - January 11, 2011


This is the only time I will ever admit this so take it all in and enjoy... My husband was right. Uuuggghh that tasted like vinegar coming out of my mouth! I told you in the beginning of this adventure that he has coined me the World's Best Worst Cook. Well today I have proved that statement to be true. I managed to make the most unappetizing brownies ever!
I followed the direction to a tee and still I managed to mess them up. They literally ended up tasting like dirt brownies. And I may be a lot of things but I'm no quitter! So here is where I need your help... What is the best brownie recipe you have??? I am committed to fixing this crime against baking.


Ingredients:
(makes 2 dozen)
8- 1 ounce squares of unsweetened bakers chocolate
1 cup butter
5 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted

Directions:
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and Grease a 9 x 13 pan
Step 2: Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat; set aside
Step 3: In a mixer using whisk attachment, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at speed 4 for 4 minutes
Step 4: Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt on level 2 moving to 4 for 1 minute.
Step 5: Stir in the nuts
Step 6: Pour into prepared pan and bake at 375 for 35 - 40 minutes

Tips:
* ALWAYS taste your concoctions!!! I have made the mistake before of giving a pumpkin bread (if it could even be called that) to a neighbor, tasting our loaf and then tucking my tail between my legs and asking him to give it back so I could make him another!
* If your family tells you that the brownies were
'pretty good' but they each only had one and the stack of brownies is still just sitting there... chances are you made the world's worst brownies!
