Sweetheart Brownies

David from St. Augustine, Florida stopped into our Jacksonville store and told us how he likes to add Raspberry Enlightenment to his brownies.  So we gave it a try; thanks for the tip.

Preheat oven to 325 F.  Grease a 9×13 inch glass pan.  Melt butter in a small pan over low heat, then sift cocoa and whisk until smooth.  Pour into a large mixing bowl, let cool.  Add sugar, pure vanilla extract, and raspberry enlightenment and mix well.  Lightly whisk the eggs, then add to batter and stir to blend.

Add flour, stir until combined.  Brownies should be stirred by hand, until just blended.  Add nuts, spoon into baking dish.  Bake 30-40 minutes, until middle springs back when lightly pressed and the edges start to pull away from the sides of pan.

Let cool, and then sift powdered sugar over the top.  Cut into small squares and store in a covered container.    16-24 squares
