Chocolate Honey Brownies

It's Spring!  Well, at least according to the calendar.  Here in Wisconsin we haven't felt much warmth in the air yet. 

Last night on the weather forecast they showed frost and freeze warnings in states south of us.  While we were going to be colder, the weatherman said that since we haven't had enough of a warm-up there are no crops in danger, so no need for the warnings here.  🙂

On some of the days where the temperature has gone above 50° I've seen the bees out helping those Spring flowers.  They're ready for Spring too.  Perhaps this recipe for Chocolate Honey Brownies represents wishful thinking for warmer weather, but they sure sound good!

Chocolate Honey Brownies

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Dash salt
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
 
Preheat oven to 350°.  Butter an 8-inch square pan.  Melt chocolate and butter in medium sized heavy saucepan over low heat.  Remove from heat; cool slightly.  Stir in eggs, honey and vanilla.  Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl.  Stir in chocolate mixture with walnuts.  Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.  Bake 20-25 minutes or just until center feels springy.  Cool in pan on wire rack.  Cut into 2-inch squares.

Enjoy!
