Fudge Brownies

4oz unsweetened baking chocolate
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
¾ cup butter or margarine
3 eggs
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

First butter a 13 inch x 9 inch x 2 inch baking pan; then preheat the oven to 350°F.

Next put the chocolate and butter into a large microwaveable bowl, and microwave on ‘high’ for 1½ to 2 minutes or until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth when stirred.

Then add the sugar and stir with a spoon until well blended. Next add the eggs and the vanilla extract and mix well; then add the flour, and if liked the nuts, and stir until the mixture is well blended.

Transfer the brownie mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Then bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack and then cut into about 24 scrumptious fudge brownies.
