1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1/2 c. melted butter
2 eggs, well beaten
2/3 c. flour
3/4 t. vanilla
1/4 t. salt
Cream butter, sugar and cocoa together, add eggs, vanilla, salt & then flour. Bake at 325 for 2o minutes or until done.
I also sometimes mix together:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
dollop on top of brownie mixture and take a knife to marble it throughout the brownies.
When Matt and I first started dating, he mentioned he loved his grandmother's cream cheese brownies... so I thought that's easy enough. I made brownies adding some cream cheese, pretty proud of myself. He took one look at them and knew they were wrong. I later talked to his grandmother about her brownies and she told me how she made them (I was only 16 for goodness sakes)... Anyway, the brownie recipe is from my mom although she says she has no recollection of giving it to me but it is good in a pinch when there isn't any mixes on hand and I need to make something sweet fast!
I also realize I posted yesterday that I was going to start this weight challenge (ugh), but just because I am posting this recipe for you, my friends, doesn't mean I'm making them myself... not today anyway.

I wouldn't have even noticed that you posted a recipe for brownies the day after you announced your participation in the weight loss challenge. It IS pretty funny, though. :)

Chocolate and cream cheese..what a great combo. Thanks for sharing.
Annie,
The recipe looks great but I really am writing to say I found your blog on tales from the scales and I really love it. I am so new to all of this! I did start a blog but only for my May Challenge.
