That's ok! I made a mental note of yours!
I would really be interested in OT's brownie recipe too!

I could surprise Steve with something "cake-like" when he gets in from church!

Heh...I just made brownies, too. They came out wayyyyy rich. Even with my brothers here we only ate a few pieces. I stirred in some chocolate chips...they melted a bit since the recipe calls for melted butter and the batter was warm, but I think that made them even better! (Butter...batter...better...)
To: 2Jedismom
It's the one from the chocolate box:
4 squares of baking chocolate
3/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans
Melt chocolate and butter in a microwavable bowl ( I'm using a pot on the stovetop.) Stir in sugar until well blended. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and nuts until well blended. spread in greased pan (13x9 inches.) Bake at 350 (325 for a glass baking dish) for 30 to 35 minutes.

Ok...three level tbsp of cocoa and a tbsp of shortening or oil equal one square unsweetened baking chocolate.

3 tablespoons cocoa + 1 tablespoon oil = 1 square chocolate.
To: Wneighbor
I don't know if I dare it, making anything chocolate from scratch. Remember Steve's birthday cake? Looked like it had a nervous breakdown.

Ok....I'm printing up the recipe. Heck, nothing ventured nothing gained is my motto!
I'm just gonna melt the butter and add the oil and cocoa right into it...the proceed as directed.

Man, does that sound good... gooey rich brownies, mmm...
I am trying not to think about tomorrow. I've spent most of the day in bed, being really lazy and slightly ill. Felt very decadent. I don't have that luxury tomorrow, though, I have to go to work...

12 level tbsp of cocoa comes out to 2/3 of a cup, it seems.

What do you think? 4 tablespoons of oil needed to equal the 4 squares of chocolate comes out to exactly a fourth of a cup. Your recipe calls for 3/4 cup butter. Reckon I could skip the oil and just use two sticks of butter instead?
