Organic Fourth Of July Brownies

Make something good.

1. 01

   Preheat oven to 367 degrees.

2. 02

   Grease a 9x9 baking pan, and put into a big piece of parchment paper so that it sticks up over the sides of the pan.

3. 03

   Put the chocolate chips and butter into a porcelain dish and zap for about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir to mix well, making sure the chips are reasonably melted.

4. 04

   Stir in the sugar.

5. 05

   Then Stir in the flour.

6. 06

   Then stir in the eggs, one at a time.

7. 07

   Add the vanilla and brandy.

8. 08

   Add walnuts.

9. 09

   Pour into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes.

    As soon as you can, using the sticking-up parchment paper, lift the brownies out onto a cooling rack. When cool, transfer to a cutting board and cut carefully into squares. I like my brownies small, but any size you like is okay. Also, I always trim off the outside edges before cutting the brownies so that they are all uniform. My family really enjoys munching on the edge bits I cut off.
