Laura's brownie recipe

• Melt over very low heat
  • 4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 stick butter
• Cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, beat with a wire whisk (or electric mixer)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/8 tsp salt
• Until fluffy and uniform in color.
• Add 2 cups granulated sugar to the egg mixture
  • add slowly, about 2 spoonfuls at a time
  • beat until uniform in color and texture between additions
  • if you dump it all in, it will taste fine, but you'll ruin the texture
• Add cooled chocolate mixture to egg/sugar mixture. Stir.
• Add 1 cup all-purpose flour.
• Stir in up to 1 cup surprises with flour.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes.

Surprises can be chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts are best), chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips grated coconut, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces; don't use Jr. Mints or Raisinets.
