Pot Luck and Brownies

If your ward is anything like ours then you have just had tons of new families moving in. Take this Sunday to invite over a few new families for a nice potluck and some games. Remember to keep it simple. Try making a veggie tray with fiesta ranch dip. Or a fruit tray with a dip made out of strawberry yogurt and cream cheese. You could even throw some little smokies in the crock pot with bbq sauce! Or if you would rather make dessert then here is a recipe for the best homemade brownies ever! I even like them better then most store bought brownies!

What You Need

6 oz Dark chocolate (Broken into pieces)

3/4 c butter

1 1/4 c sugar

pinch of salt

3 large eggs

1 scant cup flour

2 t vanilla

1/2 c chocolate chips

Directions

Place chocolate and butter in glass bowl and melt over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add sugar and salt. Beat eggs in a bowl and add to chocolate mixture slowly. Add flour and beat until smooth. Add vanilla and chocolate chips. Pour mixture into 8x8 greased pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. The top of the brownies will be brown but the inside will still be slightly soft (make sure that a toothpick inserted in center of brownies will come out mostly clean though). Let cool and serve with ice cream.
