    5       oz           Unsweetened chocolate

    1 3/4   c            Light brown sugar (white ok)
    5                    Eggs
    1 1/2   ts           Vanilla extract
    1       c            Flour(3/4c for fudgier ones)
                         -----OPTIONAL EMBELLISHMENTS-----
    1       c            Chopped walnuts/pecans
    1       t            Freshly grated orange rind
      1/2   ts           Cinnamon
    1       sm           Ripe banana, mashed
    2       tb           To 4T strong black coffee
    1       c            Semisweet choc chips
 
   1.  Butter 9x13 pan.  Preheat oven to 350.
   
   2.  Gently melt the chocolate.  Let it cool for about 10 mins.
   
   3.  Cream the butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl until light and
   fluffy.
   
   4.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.  Stir in the
   vanilla.
   
   5.  Stir constantly as you drizzle in the melted chocolate.  After all the
   chocolate is in, beat well for a minute or two.
   
   6.  Stir in the flour and possible embellishments.  Mix just enough to
   blend thoroughly.
   
   7.  Spread the batter into the prepared pan.  Bake 20-25 mins, or until
   knife inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cut into squares while still
   hot, then allow to cool for at least 10 mins, if you can wait that long.
