Chocolate Brownie Recipe

I found this Brownie recipe while looking for a cookie-in-a-jar recipe.  http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Brownie-Mix-in-a-Jar-II/Detail.aspx  I've tried lots of Brownie recipes over the years but had not fallen in love with any until this one.  It's chewy and fudgy instead of like a cake and it requires only 1 bowl. 

RECIPE
Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease and flour a 9 x 13" pan.

Mix the following ingredients in large bowl.

• 1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour                           1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt                                                            2 1/4 cups of white sugar
• 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 
• 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, walnut, etc. (optional)

To above bowl, add 4 whole eggs and 3/4 cup of melted butter or margarine and mix.

Spread batter into prepared pan.  Batter will be thick.  Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.  I prefer to cook on the middle rack of oven, otherwise the edges are cooked too quickly.   Dry ingredients can be stored in a jar and the 'wet' ingredients added later if desired. 

I love this recipe because it tastes yummy of course but also because it only requires 1 bowl, doesn't need an electric mixer and uses normal ingredients.
