I am a fan of the blondie and brownie, but I haven't spent much time making them. Most of my time and efforts have been focused on the humble cookie...or the more spectacular cake (although my cakes don't quite reach "spectacular"...yet). Whenever I want to learn a recipe, or just need a quick recipe that I know people will like, I reach for the Better Homes & Gardens New Baking Book. Unfortunately for those who don't already own it, this book was taken out of print recently - which I discovered when I tried to buy a copy for a friend for Christmas. Boo. Find a used copy if you can, because it's great!
Anyway....so when I decided it was time to make brownies, I reached for the "Easy Fudge Brownies" recipe. This is a great recipe because it's one bowl - not even a bowl, but a saucepan. I love one bowl recipes...so much less to clean up! These are great, if basic, brownies. They're also easy to change up - I mixed in some mint chocolate chips at the very end, and they baked up perfectly.
