Brownies (with Symphony variation)

These are my favorite brownies in the world. They're really rich and moist and chocolaty.

Ingredients:

• 1 2/3 c. granulated sugar
• 3/4 c. butter or margarine, melted
• 2 T. water
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
• 3/4 c. NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Baking Cocoa (yes, I got the recipe off the back of the cocoa box)
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Mix in wet ingredients.
• Spread into prepared pan.
• Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky.

My favorite variation:

• Spread half of batter into pan.
• Lay three 1-lb Symphony bars across the top.
• Spread rest of batter on top. It will barely be enough to cover.
• Sprinkle top with crushed toffee bits.
  
• Bake as directed above. (Note: the toothpick will come out with melted chocolate on it from the candy bar. Only stick in partway to test for doneness.)
• Let cool completely, else the melted chocolate may burn your mouth, or at the very least, run all over everything.
