I had a craving for something chocolatey and sweet today and what better comfort food is better than a warm chocolate brownie fresh from the oven!

Former First Lady Nancy’s own personal recipe for Chocolate Brownie’s definitely made my heart sing as I enjoyed each bite of the chocolate deliciousness.

I had to adapt the recipe just a little bit by cutting the ingredients in half because I couldn’t possibly have 96 brownies on hand – although tempting!

Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

1 1/4 Cup Butter, softened

1 1/4 Cup Sugar

4 Eggs

1/2 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

1 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour

1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 1/2 Cup chopped Walnuts or Pecans (I used Pecans)

Directions

Cream butter and sugar together in a small mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Fold in the flour and cocoa powder. Add the nuts and fold in.

Spread the brownie mixture evenly into a small greased (or lined with parchment paper) pan. Bake in a preheated oven of 375 degrees for about 27 minutes.

Cool the brownies for about an hour. Cut and enjoy!

P.S. A scoop of vanilla ice cream goes perfectly on top 😋
