BROWNIES, BROWNIES FOREVER

Or if you're looking for savory, baking your own pizza is pretty rewarding. Start with a basic crust and then you can get creative, like with stuffed crusts, or adapting it into calzones and stromboli.

ooh. I should try pizza! I have never made homemade brownies just ones from the box. :X

This is the best brownie recipe ever, and super easy:

FUDGE BROWNIES

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
(optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts - I never make it with walnuts but if you like nuts in brownies it'd be good)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In medium saucepan melt butter over low heat, then add chocolate and melt that too (works better than melting at the same time). Remove from heat; stir in sugar. Blend in eggs and add vanilla. Stir in flour (and nuts); mix well. Spread in greased 8x8x2-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (Be careful not to overbake) Cool and cut into squares.

They're even better if you sprinkle some semi-sweet chips on top before you bake. This is SO much better than a box mix, and especially after you do it a few times it's really not hard.

(for reference, this is the Better Homes and Gardens recipe from the ancient red plaid cookbook)

Re: Baking!

There are so many different recipes for brownies, it can be overwhelming to find one you like. I always made them from a box when I was younger and kept adding more and more things the box didn't mention until I figured I should lose the box altogether.

Here's a recipe I usually use (give or take)

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup cocoa (I like using the Hershey's Special Dark cocoa)
1 tspn salt
1 tspn baking powder
1/4 tspn baking soda
2 eggs
2/3 cup oil or melted butter
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350. Mix dry ingredients together, then add in wet ingredients. Bake for 25-27 minutes, or long enough for a toothpick inserted in the brownies to come out clean.

Optionally, you can add toppings - a handful of chocolate chips, walnuts, peanut butter, cheesecake (mix of cream cheese, eggs, and sugar), before you put it in the oven.

Box brownies are tasty and easy - what's not to love?

Ooh, I second the pizza baking. I have to bake my own pizzas since anything tomato-based makes me nauseous (pesto sauce forever), and boy are they delicious.

I'm really bad at flatting crust out though. It's like there's a perfect flour ratio that I can't quite grasp.
