Emergency Brownies

This brownie recipe is wonderful because it is really easy, fast, and made from things I always have on hand!  It is perfect for those days when I just NEED chocolate.  I love to put m&ms or pecans on top!  Yummy! 

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter--softened
1/2 cup flour
6 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup nuts, candy, or other topping of your choice (optional)

Directions:
Dump all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix on medium speed for 4 minutes.  Spray a pie pan with cooking spray.  Pour the batter into the pie pan, it will be thick, so spread it out with a spatula if you have to.  Bake it at 350 for 30 minutes. 

The texture of these is slightly different than regular brownies, but I like it!  It kind of melts in your mouth, and definitely hits the spot when a chocolate craving hits.  :0)  Enjoy!
