All right, calling all bakers!

I'm in need of a fudgy brownie recipe with a great homemade frosting. Anyone out there have a recipe in their collection that you can share with me?

I have a fabulous brownie recipe to share. Sorry, they don't have frosting--they don't need it. My family are brownie fanatics, and they insist I use no other recipe. These are heavy, solid brownies. You mix it all in one pot.

2 squares baking chocolate
1 stick of margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup flour
Add if you want to: 1/2 cup nuts (walnuts or almonds)

Melt chocolate and margarine together over low heat. Remove pan from heat and add sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and flour (and nuts is you want to).

Grease and flour a 9 x 9 pan. Add batter and bake at 350 for 30 minutes exactly. Do not overbake.

Good luck!

Here is my favorite brownie recipe. I got the recipe from a nurse that I used to work with, and I make these brownies every summer.

Raspberry Brownies

• Brownie mix or brownie recipe of your choosing (I use Ghiradelli brownie mix)

• 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam with 2 cups fresh raspberries

• 2 - 8 oz. packages of cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 3 oz. white chocolate (melted) (I use Ghiradelli)
• 8 oz. Cool Whip

Make your brownies according to package directions or according to your favorite recipe. Let cool after removing from the oven.

Next mix together the raspberry jam with the fresh raspberries. Spread this layer over your cooled brownies.

Finally mix together the remaining ingredients with an electric mixer until everything is well mixed. It should have the consistency of a stiff cream or meringue; it shouldn't be runny. Spread this mixture on top of your raspberry layer.

You can eat it right away although I prefer to refrigerate it first for awhile so that it chills. These brownies are actually better the second day as the raspberry layer starts soaking into the brownies, giving the whole thing a really rich and yummy flavor! Enjoy!

I think this is the recipe I used to use before I lost it. I remember it took little flour and baking chocolate. I quit trying other recipes since they never lived up to these.

Thank you for posting it!!!!!

Here is a recipe I use for homemade brownies. It's from the back of the Toll House chips. This is the original recipe. When I make it I use splenda or baking splenda. I also use bitter sweet chips for the portion that gets melted to cut the sweet a bit. These brownies are fudgy enough I don't do icing.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels, divided
2 large eggs

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 325º F. Grease 9-inch square baking pan.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.

HEAT shortening, sugar and water in medium saucepan to boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup morsels; stir until smooth.

ADD eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add in flour mixture. Stir in remaining morsels. Spread into prepared baking pan.

BAKE for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky. Cool completely in pan on wire rack; cut into squares.

I don't remember where I got this recipe from. I do remember switching from semi sweet baking chocolate to semisweet chocolate chips because of the cost and eliminating half of the chocolate beause you added it to the batter to make chocolate chip/chunk brownies and it was just too much. These brownie are incredibly rich and moist. I prefer my brownies plain (no nuts or additions and no frosting) but even if I did like frosting on my brownies I'd probably skip it on these as they're just so rich and moist they'd be too much frosted.

Chocolate Brownies

Note:I usually double this recipe so that I can use the entire bag of chocolate chips and a 9"x13" baking pan

3/4C. flour
1/4tsp. baking soda

3/4C. sugar
1/3C. butter/margarine (I always use butter)
2Tbl. water

1C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1tsp. vanilla

2 large eggs

Combine flour and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside. In a saucepan combine s butter, water (I add the butter and water first and melt the butter before adding the sugar), and sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat immediately and stir in chocolate chips and vanilla until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Let cool. You can transfer it to a large non-metal bowl if you want or need to.
You want it cool enough that you won't end up with scrambled eggs baked in to your brownies so 15-20 minutes with an occaissional stirring if it's in a large non-metal bowl much longer if you leave it in the pan or put it in a metal bowl. Once cool, turn the oven on to 325f to heat, stir in eggs and gradually mix in flour mixture. Pour in to a 9" (greased if not nonstick) pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean at 325f.

I'm cutting and pasting all of these into a Word document, and then making them! I would love to have the recipe!
