Hershey's chocolate brownie recipe

Today for our Wednesday cooking class we made the best - and easy - chocolate brownies...using Hershey's chocolate (of course)...my mom and I agree that Hershey's is the best chocolate you can find!

She keeps the recipe in her "Best Recipes", handwritten, 3-ring binder cookbook that she has all the best recipes from her mom, Poppa's mom, and the ones she has found over the years...this Hershey's brownie recipe came from a can of Hershey's chocolate, so even tho' it is handwritten in the binder, now you can find it online, too...but just so you get the RIGHT recipe, here are the links:

(Mom adds a teaspoon of salt to the flour - I think it helps take down the sweetness of the chocolate just a bit...)

Preparation tip:  Make sure you leave a little batter in the bowl for licking!

They are delicious!  Poppa snarfed one right up as soon as he got home from work...
