A pleasant hour this morning spent preparing a batch of brownies for this afternoon, a quick and easy recipe. Today I did a variation of this recipe by adding a thin coat of melted chocolate chips and chopped pecans after they came out of the oven. I just throw a handful of the chips over the top of the hot brownies and let it set until they have melted, then I spread them around like a frosting and top with chopped nuts. A more festive variation than the plain brownie recipe, which itself is quite tasty. I like to bake them at just 30 minutes and am willing to underbake them just a bit--makes them moist and good. These might just be the best brownies ever. From a blog I often visit, Pleasantview Schoolhouse.
Schoolhouse Brownies
Melt over low heat:
3/4 cup of butter
4 oz unsweetened chocolate
Stir together and set aside to cool.
With electric mixer, beat until creamy 5-8 minutes:
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Gently blend the cooled chocolate into the egg mixture and add the following ingredients with a wooden spoon, until combined:
1 cup of flour
2 cups of chocolate chips
Pour into greased 13x9 pan and bake approximately 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
(Be sure not to overbake)
And look at these, don´t they just set your mouth a´watering? Chocolate Chip Cookie topped Brownies, hmmm, might be a new favorite. I just found the recipe and will give them a try the next morning I have for puttering in the kitchen.

Oh my....they look fantastic. A bit of a tease, we can see, but we can't taste : ( !!!
I'd love the recipe for the cookie topped brownies, or the source for it so that I could find it. What an idea, to top the brownies with cookie dough.....yum ee!!!
I do love brownies, and yes, there are so many variations that can give them a whole different twist.
OK...talk about getting a craving : ) .....I found a recipe for these online. Don't know if it's the same one you have or not, but wow do they sound good.
It's kind of an involved recipe, because as they said online it's actually making two complete recipes and combing them as one.
I don't know, I still think I may give them a try....I'll let you know if and when I do!
Not craving for brownies but after looking at your pics, I sure would like some with MY glass of milk.
