Brownies

12 oz (1 bag) semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup butter cut in pieces
3 eggs
1 ¼ cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon baking soda

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and butter in pan over lowest heat until smooth (this will take a few minutes). Remove from heat, add eggs. Stir in dry ingredients and vanilla slowly. Add remaining chips, spread into greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Don't be fooled into making brownies from a $1.99 box of brownie mix. Those are usually dry and taste like chemicals. Homemade brownies will be moist, super-chocolately, and best of all, will actually taste like chocolate. For an added bonus, try substituting bourbon for the vanilla--the brownies won't taste like bourbon, but the bourbon will highlight the chocolate and make them taste even more chocolatey.
