Weekend Wonderfulness

I feel like I owe you a really spectacular recipe.

You have been awfully nice to support my incessant rambling and whining this week.

I've been holding out a few recipes that are, if I do say so myself, pretty incredible.

I can say that because it is not like I invented them or anything.

I've just made them for so long that I pretend like I invented them.

My brownies are in that select group of recipes.

My brownies are fantastic. BUT. And this is a very important but....they are not so good after the first day.

But that first day?

They rock.

After the first day?

They are a little dry.

Which is the perfect opportunity to serve them with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream and my homemade chocolate sauce.

These brownies are SO good that The Princess is presently questioning whether or not I should divulge.

I think I will.

Just because I like you a lot.

My Incredible Brownies

1 1/2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
4 T. cocoa
1 t. salt
1 c. oil
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla
1 c. pecans (optional)

Lightly spray a 9x13.
Mix all the goods and bake at 350 for 32 minutes.

Did you get that? 32 minutes. For perfect brownies.

Oh. The homemade chocolate sauce? Can you handle the homemade chocolate sauce?

Homemade Chocolate Sauce

1/2 c. butter
12 T cocoa
3 c. sugar
1/4 t. salt
13 oz. can evaporated milk
2 T. white Karo syrup

Melt butter and cocoa in microwave.
Add the rest of the stuff, stirring with a whisk.
Whisk it really well.
Microwave about 2 more minutes and whisk.
Microwave 1 or 2 more minutes.

This sauce is great to keep in the refrigerator. For ice cream. Or milk. Or biscuits. Or whatever. Sometimes I eat it with a spoon.
Just sometimes.

Have a great weekend.

Eat some chocolate.

Yes, they rock!!! However, they are strictly one-day brownies. All the more reason to eat them all the first day!

Love me some Blue Bell ice cream!!

Chocolate sauce rocks, too!

[Rebecca]

O.k., my birthday is Monday. I may ask my husband to make these for me. Think we can eat them all in one day? Hmmm...

My daughter used to drink Hershey's syrup straight from the bottle- she will enjoy the brownies & chocolate sauce! Well, ok... me too. Any maybe, just maybe, I'll share with the kids!

Hop on over to http://anapronaday.blogspot.com for my Kiss Me I’m Irish Beef & Cabbage. Want to know why they called it “corned” beef? Come on, I’ll tell ya….

Can 4 Tbsp of cocoa be enough for brownies? hmmmm

[Headless Mom]

My perfect brownies come from a box...whatever happens to be on sale for a dollar.

Mmmmm, I DO love homemade chocolate sauce!! Anything homemade, really. I'm going to try your recipe because mine gets sort of crusty after a while. And yours sounds better.

32 minutes? Your are my new OCD-BFF. Seriously. I am going to make them just because of that. Well, that, and I am a pig who loves good chocolate.

I HEART CHOCOLATE. And no chocolate sauce? What would be the meaning of life then?!

[pattik]

I just love all these great recipes.
Yum, chocolate sauce, I can't take it!
Thanks B, your the best!!

I came back from church, birthday party and shopping with 45 minutes before my homegroup. Oh, and I was supposed to have made something for homegroup. I whipped these brownies together. They were a great big hit! thanks!!

[TheRoost]

I can't wait to make the brownies and the sauce. Thanks for sharing your recipe's. I like the spoon idea best!

I NEED some chocolate therapy! If they make it to the oven, 32 minutes should work just fine. But if the urgency occurs, I may just need to flop my butt in front of the tv and grab a spoon. Oh, and with the chocolate sauce.

Your my hero today - muah, muah, muah!
