What a great week I had last week. Thanks to all of you for the Birthday wishes– another 
one is in the books. I made these brownies and took them into the store to celebrate my birthday with my faithful customers. I am sharing the recipes because I know this is a dessert I am going to make again and again.
Best Darn Brownies
1 Cup Butter
1/2 Cup Cocoa
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
4 Eggs
4 Teaspoons Vanilla
1 Cup Chopped Nuts (optional)
Mix all the ingredients until blended. Pour into a 9 X 13 inch pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 
degrees. Check after 20 minutes. My brownies took 25 minutes to bake.
Icing
1/4 Cup Softened Butter
1/4 Cup canned milk (regular milk works fine)
1/4 Cup Cocoa
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
Mix all together and frost as desired. Cool brownies for at least 1 hour before icing.
Today is going to be a gorgeous day. Get out and enjoy it. It won’t be long before, well, you know the rest.
Until next week…From our Butcher Block to your Table.
