Fudge Brownie

A dense, moist, fudgie brownie...if made in a round tart pan it looks very elegant. From the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book...I first made this in 1982 in Forest Grove.

1/2 cup of butter
2 oz of chocolate...unsweetened
melt in top of a double boiler
let cool a bit, and with a wooden spoon, stir in
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
3/4 cup of flour
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
mix well and spoon into a prepared square cake pan or a round cake pan...I line with parchment paper for removing the entire brownie.
bake at
350* for 20 - 25 minutes (don’t over-cook!)
