My toddler, Sweet Pea, helped me make some of these for a dinner with friends. I had her mix the dry ingredients as not to get a gooey mess all over her. Well, she took a big bite of flour, then a spoonful of cocoa powder, and lastly, a lick of vanilla extract becoming increasingly disgusted. The brownies were great, fudgey like my man likes them, with a crispy layer on top...mmmm, delish. But Sweet Pea wouldn't try them, she asked for an apple instead. I think this endeavor was a success on many levels.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F

Cream together oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs

Mix together dry ingredients and then add to wet

Stir everything together and pour into a greased 8x8 dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake!

These are great topped with ice-cream (I guess that goes without saying)
