Chocolate Squares of Joy (Aka Baby Brownies)
"This is the "Baby Brownies" recipe from the "New Basics Cookbook". My sister takes them to every potluck and they disappear! A friend of ours named them "Squares of Joy" because they are far above the usual brownie!"
- Ready In:
- 55mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
64 baby brownies
ingredients
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, good-quality
- 1⁄4 cup chocolate syrup (Dove ice cream topping, if you can find it)
- 8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup flour
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter and flour an 8 inch square baking pan.
- Melt the chocolate in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Add the syrup and stir well.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla and the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the sugar, salt, and flour. Add this to the chocolate mixture and blend thoroughly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until just cooked--about 30 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, then cut them into 1 inch squares and transfer to a serving plate.
- Note: 1 inch is the proper size for these brownies--they are extremely rich!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Karen and I live West of Chicago (on the edge of no where!) with my DH, our two German Shepherds, and our two daughters. I love to golf, garden (except for the weeding!), am addicted to romance novels (and good science fiction), and I love to bake--usually cakes from scratch when I have the time! Since getting married, I have been cooking a lot more and am having a lot of fun trying new recipes! And now that I have two little ones, the slow cooker is my friend! The girls take a lot of time, but they are worth it!<br /><br />The dogs are my babies too--though they are about as big as I am! It has been a bit of a challenge at times, as they both have severe hip dysplasia, but they are great dogs and I have learned so much about arthritis! I have also learned a lot about cancer, as our female was diagnosed with bone cancer. She is now on three, but doing great post-chemo. They are both great with the kids and love to ***** little hands and feet! and noses! and ears! and...! <br /><br />I participated in the 2006 Fall PAC--and what a great game/program/thing! So much fun! <br /><br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /> <br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></p>
