Microwave Cocoa Brownies




Source of Recipe


Ideal's Hershey's Cookbook


Recipe Introduction



Fast chocolate fix!!! Please adapt for the wattage of your microwave, recipe written for 600 to 700 watt.




List of Ingredients







2 tbsp shortening
1/3 c butter or margarine
1/4 c plus 2 tbsp cocoa
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 c flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c chopped nuts, opt.




Recipe




In a microwave safe bowl, melt shortening and butter.
Stir in cocoa until smooth.
Add sugar and blend well.
Add eggs and beat until well blended.
Stir in remaining ingredients and mix.
Spread into a lightly greased 8 inch round microwave dish.
Microwave on medium (300 to 350 watts) for 7 minutes, turning every 3 minutes.
Microwave on high (600 to 700 watts) for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the brownies is puffed and dry on top.
Cool until set.
Cut into wedges and serve (with ice cream!)

NOTES:
I used unsalted butter and omitted the nuts.
I cooked in an 1100 watt microwave, 3:40 minutes for medium and 1:45 on high.
Great with ice cream on top... yum!
