MINT BROWNIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Slowly add the melted chocolate, while stirring.
• In a separate small bowl combine the flour and baking powder. Stir the flour into the chocolate batter, just until combined. Don't over-mix.
• Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
