Moosewood Fudge Brownies

butter for the pan
5 oz. (5 squares) unsweetened chocolate
1/2 lb. (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 3/4 cups (packed) light brown sugar (white sugar is also OK)
5 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup flour (use 3/4 cup for fudgier brownies)

Many optional embellishments:

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 tsp. freshly grated orange rind
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
a small ripe banana, mashed
2 to 4 tablespoon strong black coffee
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
or anything else you might think of
or, for purists, none of the above

Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Gently melt the chocolate. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cream the butter and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla. Stir constantly as you drizzle in the melted chocolate. After all the chocolate is in, beat well for a minute or two. Stir in flour and possible embellishments. Mix just enough to blend thoroughly. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center come out clean. Cut into squares while still hot, then allow to cool for at least 10 minutes, if you can wait that long.
