Crites Family Stuff

Description

Jennifer Crites: I have made these many times and sometimes added a cream cheese filling.

Ingredients for 15 servings

• 1 cup margarine, melted
• .5 cup cocoa
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1.5 cup flour
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Steps

1. Combine margarine, cocoa, sugar and eggs. Add the flour, vanilla and nuts. Bake at 350F in a 9x13 greased pan for 25-30 minutes.
2. Jenny Garrett uses 1/2 tsp baking soda in her recipe and then frosts them with this frosting: Melt 1/4 cup butter and stir in 1/4 cup cocoa. Add 5 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla. Beat in 3 cups of powdered sugar. Frost cooled brownies.
3. Jennifer's cream cheese filling: 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup sugar beaten together. Drop by spoonfuls onto the brownie batter after it has been poured into the pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and then marble it into the batter by pulling a knife through the globs of cream cheese and swirling the knife around several times. Bake as usual.
