Super Fudge Brownie Recipe

Every once in awhile I come upon a recipe that is so good that I have to publish it. My friend Mary Ellen Lee made these Brownies in honor of Mother's Day and I had to get the recipe. These were the best brownies. Enjoy.

6 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1 cup butter
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat over to 300 degrees. Grease 8X8 inch baking pan

Combine baking chocolate and butter in saucepan and melt over low heat. Remove from heat and cool.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until light yellow (about 5 mintes). Add sugar and blend on low until thoroughly combined.
Add vanilla and melted chocolate to the egg/sugar mixture and blend on low until smooth. Add the floor and mix thoroughly.

Pour batter into greased pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Back for about 45-55 minutes or until toothpick in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake.

Cool, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
