Peppermint Icecream with Brownies

Okay, so this isn't really a "recipe", but one of my favorite things about Christmas is peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce on top. I eat at least one bowl-full a day because it just screams Christmastime to me. And, to make it extra delicious, sometimes I make brownies to go underneath the ice cream. This is my mother-in-law's wonderful brownie recipe that is super versatile. You can add nuts or any kind of chip (chocolate, swirls, etc.) and they are great. Also, adding icing on top never hurt either! Enjoy the brownies and definitely grab a carton (or two in my case) of this ice cream the next time you're at the store. Merry Christmas!

Chewy Brownies
Blend well:
2 cups sugar
2 cups butter/margarine (2 cubes)

4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 t. salt

1 cup chips, nuts, or coconut

Bake at 350 for 22 minutes
(I usually put this in a medium-sized cookie sheet to cook).

Yummmm! I need a good brownie recipe! I just always use the box and they aren't as good.
When I changed the background your "Chewy Brownies" title didn't show up since it was red, so I hope you don't mind that I turned it green.

Oh Cassi, going and changing my title color! I guess that's okay. Just kidding, thanks for always taking care of stuff and I love the new background!
