great easy brownies

Today its all about the chocolate.  The other night I was seriously craving chocolate.  I mean SERIOUSLY.  I thought well, I know I have the ingredients for brownies just need an easy recipe.  So I looked up some recipes online and found one that looked super easy and super good.  You know what IT WAS!  So here is my new brownie recipe.

1 1/2 c. flour (self-rising or plain with 1 tsp. salt)
2 c. sugar
8 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 c. water
1/2 c. pecans (optional)

We are still eating them... but they won't last too much longer!

Best Brownies

Hi everyone! I actually had this ready to post last week and just plain forgot. I'm still trying to figure out how to juggle being the mom of two and wife to one. I also had a bad cold last week on top of it all. I'm so glad you all stopped by for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. It is great. I can't believe how many participants we have now. Be sure you are always linked up at Lisa's blog She is the BEST sister in the WORLD.

Last week I was craving chocoloate and actually had to make brownies from scratch! I know! Crazy thought! This recipe is great and we really enjoyed them. I hope you do too. It is from "Necessities and Temptations" one of my all time favorite cookbooks.
