The November 2008 Recipe of the Month Brownie Rum Treats Here is a fun and easy brownie to make for cold autumn evenings (with a game of dominoes thrown in). If you want to omit the rum, you can substitute a wee bit of rum flavoring. We thank Anne Robinson for this recipe.
Ingredients 1/2 cup butter (4 ounces) 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet bars 1 1/4 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon white or light rum 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cups flour Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or shortening. Very carefully, melt chocolate, butter and sugar in a medium saucepan, over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool for a bit, as you will be adding the eggs next. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla, rum, salt, and flour, stirring until mixture is smooth and ingredients are combined. Do not overmix. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until brownies begin to shrink from sides of pan. Allow to cool before cutting. Enjoy!
