Notes

Make it special! Add up to 1 cup of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter at the end prior to baking. Any type of chocolate can be used. Chocolate chips, candy bar chocolates, expensive baking. You'll need 4 ounces or 1/2 cup. Use the type you enjoy eating. That's the key to the perfect brownie recipe.
