I've used this quick MW recipe for years and love 'em!
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar. 3/4 cup flour
2 eggs. 2 tsps vanilla
1/3 cup cocoa. 1/2 cup walnuts if desired
Place butter in 8" x 8" MW able baking dish. MW on high for 1 minute or till melted.
Carefully pour butter into batter bowl and set baking dish aside.
Add sugar, eggs and cocoa to melted butter and mix with a wooden spoon.
Pour batter into baking dish and cover with a paper towel.
MW on high for 5 to 7 minutes (I do 5) or till toothpick tests clean.
I usually will sprinkle choc chips and/or peanut butter chips across the top of the batter (whether boxed mix or this MW mix) before baking. Our grown grandsons have always loved them that way!

This is the recipe I use. It's fantastic.
1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c. cocoa
1 c. nuts (optional)
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour into buttered 9 X 13 pan.
Bake at 350º for 30 minutes.
This has a lot of sugar in it, so go easy.
Only a 2 X 2 in. square! ! !
Put the rest into the freezer. Out of sight, out of mind.

Our favorite are the Betty Crocker mixes with walnuts.
I once watch Alton Brown on tv and he said to buy cake mixes instead of home made. They add stuff in them that we don't have and produce a superior cake. Well, I don't want to eat anything that I can't have in my kitchen and I still make my own cakes...but brownies are always Betty Crocker's!!!

My favorite brownie is/was my grandmother's, a thin, dark chocolate walnut brownie, topped with a ganache frosting, sitting under a big scoop of peppermint ice cream, topped with her homemade fudge sauce.
Our family traditional Christmas dinner dessert.
