I had a sever craving for brownies to fix this awful situation....I made some from scratch and OMG they were good and moist and straight from the oven. I have to thank Betty Crocker and their cookie book from 1986.
2 squares unsweetened chocolate 1/3 C. shortening 1 C. sugar 2 eggs 1/2 tsp vanilla 3/4 C. all purpose flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 C. chopped nuts (optional)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat chocolate and shortening in 2 quart sauce pan over low heat until melted; remove from heat. Mix in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spread in a well greased baking pan 8x8x2-in. Bake until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan, 30-35 min; cool. Cut into 1-in. squares.
Note: If your not eating these in one sitting, wrap up in tinfoil or put in a ziplock baggie. They will dry out if they sit out overnight not covered up. You can reheat in a mircowave for about 5-10 sec. to get them to be soft and chewy again.
