Lehi's Super Supreme Brownies--YUM!!

OK--so why did I call our blog "brownies and ice cream"? It's really very simple--According to our family, there's not anything better than a bowl of vanilla ice cream atop a piping hot brownie--especially one of Lehi's "Super Supreme Brownies"! This is probably our family's favorite treat. It is oh-so-good! It's even yummy not piping hot. It's just yummy--any way you eat it. So, you're probably all drooling because you KNOW Lehi can cook, and you're all just dying to ask for his recipe. Well, we aren't the snooty type that won't share recipes, so today's you're lucky day . . .

Lehi's Super Supreme Brownies

3/4 c. butter

1 1/2 c. sugar

1/4 t. salt

2 eggs

1/2 t. vanilla

3 T. milk

1/4 t. baking powder

1/2 c. cocoa

1 c. flour

3/4 c. chocolate chips (optional)

3/4 c. mixed nuts (optional)

Cream together butter and sugar. Add next 4 ingredients and mix well. Add cocoa & flour. Mix well. Add optional stuff. Bake in 9x9 pan for 30 mins (less if you like 'em gooey, more if you like 'em drier) at 350 degrees! At times, we've sprinkled toffee chips on the top and/or mixed them into the batter before cooking, too. Oh--so good!

Happy eating!

Hmmm . . . I'm thinking we'll need to make some right about now. Besides, I need to take a picture to post, right? There's always a reason to make brownies. . . .
