FUDGE BROWNIES

(Adapted from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook)

These brownies are delicious and very chocolatey.  They're also
really easy to make:  I can mix them and pop them in the oven
during a commercial break if everything's ready.

Ingredients:	1/2 C butter (or margarine)
		2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate
		3/4 C sugar
		2 eggs
		1 tsp. vanilla
		1 tsp. orange extract  [optional but delicious]
		3/4 C flour
		[1/2 C chopped nuts --- I never add these]
		confectioner's sugar  [also optional]

Grease an 8x8x2 pan (not necessary if you use a nonstick pan).
Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan or in the microwave.
Remove from heat; transfer to mixing bowl.  Stir in sugar.  Add
eggs and extracts.  Beat lightly (not too much or the brownies
will fall).  Stir in flour and nuts.  Spread in pan.  Bake at
350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Sift confectioner's sugar on top.
Cool on wire rack, and cut into squares.   [Okay, okay, I hardly
ever wait for them to cool.]
