  A GOOD, BASIC BROWNIE RECIPE      Cream butter until soft and fluffy; 
  gradually beat in sugar; creaming well. Add eggs, one at a time, and melted 
  chocolate, mixing thoroughly. Add vanilla. Gradually beat in flour which 
  has been sifted.  Stir in chopped nuts. 
   (walnuts are also good).  Turn batter into a greased jelly-roll pan. Bake 
  at 350F. degrees for 25 minutes. 
       Mix all ingredients for icing together in a bowl. When brownies are 
  cool, spread with chocolate icing. Variation: Brownies made in blender: 
  Place eggs, vanilla, soft butter, sugar and melted chocolate in blender 
  container, cover, switch on the motor, and blend until smooth, using a 
  rubber spapula in the top of the mixture. Pour over flour in a pan, stir; 
  add nuts, and bake. Source: Unknown
