Best Brownies

Recipe from: Laura Watson

Some people like cake-like brownies.  I prefer the fudgy kind.  These brownies are so chewy, & moist!  They are terribly dangerous.  We like to serve with vanilla bean ice cream.

1/2 C. butter, melted
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa (use a hi quality brand)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1  cup mini chocolate chips
1  cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup M&M'
optional  add ins or any others u want:
1/2 cup Reese's pieces
1/2 cup  miniature marshmallow
1/2 cup caramel

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.    Grease an 8 inch square pan or line with foil.
In a medium bowl combine melted butter and cocoa and stir until cocoa
is dissolved.   Add sugar and mix well.  Add eggs one at a time and
stir until well combined.  Stir in vanilla, flour and salt until you
no longer see any flour (do not overmix).  Fold in choc. chips , nuts,
and M&M's and any other optional add ins.  Spread in pan and bake for
approximately 25 minutes.  DO NOT OVER BAKE!! Your brownies will come
out dry. Adjust time/temp accordingly for your oven. If you do the
knife/toothpick test, it should come out with moist crumbs, not clean.
 Cool completely before cutting into squares.   For double recipe,
bake in 9x12 pan and add 5 minutes to baking time.  Dust with powdered
sugar.
