Boxed brownie mixes are so last season.

Making homemade brownies is so incredibly easy, you'll wonder why you ever spent money on them. I can almost guarantee that you will already have all the necessary ingredients for these in your pantry already.
Found this delicious basic brownie recipe in a Rachel Ray magazine and WOW, do they taste better than any Betty Crocker crocker mix!!!! SInce this is a basic recipe, be creative and add your own flair such as pecans, coconut, butterscotch chips or my favorite, ghiradelli chocolate chips!


Basic Homemade Brownies

1.5 sticks melted unsalted butter
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs.
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup flour.

2. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
3. In a large bowl combine sugar, butter and salt.
4. Whisk in eggs, one at a time.
5. Stir in cocoa and flour.
6. Transfer the batter to a baking pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes.

No-Bake Cookies


I saw a package of no-bake cookies for sale at the local Harps grocery store bakery and I thought - theese are so stinkin easy to make, I can't see why people would buy them at the store. Here's my favorite no-fail recipe.

1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or chunky)
3-3 1/2 cups dry quick-cooking oats
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions
1. Add the first four ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan.
2. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in the next 3 ingredients and drop by tablespoons onto wax paper.
5. Let cool until set.
