Edited on Thu May-11-06 09:37 PM by MiniMandaRuth
I want to make brownies... They want brownies, too.. But are unwilling to drive me up to the store...

How should I... persuade them?:think:

1. Remind them you pick the rest home later on.

3. Threaten them
With naughty bits of the opposite sex...works like a charm! :)

7. I don't know, but the BEST brownie mix is Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate.
You can find it at Costco. Those brownies are to die for!

9. other: You Don't Need No Stinking Brownie Mix...see inside:
CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES*

(WE DON’T NEED NO STINKING BROWNIE MIX!)



INGREDIENTS:


1 STICK OF BUTTER
1 CUP OF SUGAR
2 EGGS, LIGHTLY BEATEN
½ CUP OF COCOA
OR
2 OUNCES BAKING CHOCOLATE
½ CUP FLOUR
¾ TSP SALT
1 TSP VANILLA EXTRACT
1 CUP NUTS IF DESIRED



PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350 DEGREES
GREASE AN 8 OR 9 INCH SQUARE PAN

MELT THE BUTTER (LARGE MICROWAVABLE MIXING BOWL IS IDEAL)

**IF YOU ARE USING BAKING CHOCOLATE, MELT IT WITH THE BUTTER***

ADD THE SUGAR AND STIR UNTIL WELL MIXED

ADD THE EGGS AND STIR UNTIL EGGS ARE MIXED IN

COMBINE THE FLOUR AND SALT, ADD TO THE BATTER
BEAT BY HAND UNTIL YOU CAN’T SEE ANY WHITE STREAKS
***IF YOU ARE USING COCOA, SIFT IT WITH THE FLOUR AND ADD**

ADD THE VANILLA AND STIR IN.

ADD THE CUP OF NUTS IF YOU ARE USING THEM
***CHOPPED PECANS OR CHOPPED WALNUTS ARE BEST***

SPREAD EVENLY IN THE CAKE PAN

BAKE 20 MINUTES..BUT DON’T OVERBAKE!

I USUALLY CHECK IT AT 15 MINUTES WITH A TESTER.
AS SOON AS THE TESTER COMES OUT CLEAN,
GET THEM OUT OF THE OVEN.

LET THEM COOL BEFORE CUTTING IF YOU CAN STAND TO WAIT!


WONDERFULLY FUDGY AND DELICIOUS!


take it from me, my family would kill me if I made brownies from a mix.

10. hmmmmm
tell them they are better parents than your friends parents and you want to bake them brownies to thank them. tell them you`ll clean the house and do the laundry for a week just to take a load off them cause they work so hard to provide for you...if that doesn`t work -roll around on the floor and scream you`ll date a crack head

good luck
