Mrs Fields Authentic Brownie Recipe
"This recipe comes from my mum's friend who comes from California. She got the recipe from a friend who worked in a Mrs Field's store back in the 1980's and had to bake a huge batch everyday. I am told that this is the authentic recipe!!!"

ingredients
directions
- In a large bowl beat the butter, sugar and cocoa until combined, not creamed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating to just combine after each addition.
- Add the flour, vanilla and half the choc chips and stir until just combined. Don't over mix or the brownies will be tough.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
- Pour the remaining choc chips over the top, getting a little everywhere. Use your hand to gently press the choc chips into the batter so they don't burn.
- Bake at 350oF (160oC) for 32 minutes.
- Cool for one hour, then place in the fridge until chilled.
- Do not slice or eat until the next day - this is VERY important.

I'm surprised to be the first reviewer of this recipe. I really liked it. I think brownies made with cocoa turn out more chocolatey than brownies made with melted chocolate. Just my experience. I followed the recipe directions very carefully so as to not overmix. For my oven the 32 minutes was a little too long. Next time I will start checking the brownies at about 25 minutes so that they turn out more fudgy than the onces I made today. I have lots of tried and true brownie recipes and now this one will join the list.
