Why brownies from scratch

I went on a quest to make great brownies from scratch. I could always whip up a decent batch from a box, but most recipes I tried were not as tasty as the box mix type. It all changed for me when I used unsweetened real chocolate squares,instead of the powdered chocolate.

My husband being a conosur of what the ultimate brownie should taste like, has given me the thumbs up for this recipe. I hope you get a chance to make a batch, let me know your opinion.

For good baking results it is important to mix dry ingredients separate from wet ingredients before combing. Always hand beat, so not to have a tough brownie. Baking is actually very scientific it's more than putting ingredients together, how and when you put them together, makes a big difference.

Ingredients

Ingredients: 2 sticks real butter, 4 squares unsweetened chocolate, 2 cups sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1 cup all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder,2 teaspoon vanilla, 4 eggs beaten well.

For chocolate topping: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 1- 11.5 oz bag milk chocolate chips. 1 teaspoon Kahlua.
