· Flour: All-purpose flour creates structure in the batter.
· Butter: Two sticks of melted butter give the brownies moisture and richness.

· Cocoa powder: Of course, you'll need cocoa powder for chocolate brownies!
· Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the brownies.
· Baking powder: Baking powder acts as a leavener, which means it helps the

brownies rise.
· Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.

Great recipe!!! I did decrease the flour to 1 cup as suggested by someone

else which makes them less cake like and more like I personally like my
brownies. I then added 1 cup coconut flakes and 1/2 cup chopped pecans...
Can you say "German Chocolate Cake Brownies"? Delicious. Thanks
