I assume you want to make brownies from scratch. Here is a recipe that I have used. The term cream the butter and eggs means to mix well. These are good brownies. Scratch Brownies 1 cup butter or margarine (melted) 2 cups white sugar 1 tsp vanilla flavoring 2 eggs ½ cup cocoa 2 cups plain flour optional - nuts, raisins, chocolate chunks, caramel pieces Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream margarine and sugar. This works well with a mixer, but you can do it by hand. After the creaming stage, do switch to a spoon for mixing. Brownies tend to get tough if worked too much. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix just until smooth. Pour in cocoa and flour. Again, mix until smooth and lumps are broken up. But, don't go to wild on the mixing. If you want to add extras, just fold those in easily. Bake for 18-20 minutes in 2 pans size 8 inches by 8 inches. You can use a larger pan like the 9 x 9 and cook for a little longer-25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. If you use a single pan, then the Scratch Brownies are thicker.

This is my favorite brownine recipe. I made these on Saturday since we had some friends coming over. 1/3 c. cocoa 2/3 c. granulated sugar 2/3 c. brown sugar 1 c. plus 2 T. all-purpose flour 2/3 t. salt 1 c. chocolate chips 1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, I leave out b/c daughter doesn't like) 1 t. vanilla extract 3 large eggs 1/2 c. vegetable oil Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients in large bowl until blended. Pour into greased 9x9 inch baking pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. If using a glass or enamel pan, bake ate 325 degrees. You can substitute vanilla, butterscotch or peanut butter chips for the chocolate chips to change it up some. Enjoy!!

hi mizfel since I do not like to make recipes that fail when I make brownies, I buy Duncan HInes brownie mix as it makes such good brownies your frients will swear you made them yourself. just ditch the box so they cannot find it and you are all set. good brownies without a flop at all.

I don't have a recipe for you, but I do have a suggestion. An online friend of mine will pour half of her brownie mix into the baking pan and then lay a couple of chocolate bars with toffee or almonds on the mix and pour the rest of the mix over them before putting the pan in the oven to bake. She uses Hershey's Symphony bars I think. I haven't tried it yet, but she raves about them. You might consider doing this also to impress your friends.
