Double Chocolate Brownies

Okay, here's a really good brownie recipe that, if I hadn't misplaced it, would have had for 25 years. But since I couldn't find it for 10 or so years, I can't claim I've had it all this time. Back in the early 1980's I lived in a trailer park in Brighton, Colorado. They had a monthly newsletter. This recipe was in that newsletter one month. I used to make it all the time. Then, as I said, I lost the recipe.

Now, a few years back, my mother-in-law asked for family recipes. I sent this to her (along with a few others) and she made a CD of family recipes, which I've had for years, but I've never really looked at it until last week. There I discovered this recipe (along with one for Buttermilk Pie I've also misplaced). I was ecstatic! I can't wait to make both recipes!

So, here's my brownie recipe....do you have a favorite one and would you mind sharing it with us?

Double Chocolate Brownies
