Fudgy Brownies

Here is a homemade fudge brownie recipe! I had never made brownies from scratch, always used a store bought mix because I thought it was easier! I found this recipe and I had everything for it on hand. We will have it warmed up with some vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce on top. I got this recipe out of a cookbook I have and I didn't change anything about it. Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I didn't use any, wanted to see what it tasted like pure chocolate first)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 8x8 pan and set aside. In a medium saucepan melt butter and chocolate on low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until just combined then stir in flour and nuts. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.

I only had to bake for 20 minutes and it was completely done so I suggest starting at 15 and going up from there. I also cut the butter up into about 5 pieces to help everything melt evenly. Hope you enjoy this recipe!
