Solar Cooker Desserts: Solar Baked Brownies

Solar Baked Brownies
tasty brownies cooked in a solar cooker

1/2 cup shortening

2 1-oz. squares unsweetened chocolate

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup broken walnuts (optional)

Melt shortening and chocolate together in solar cooker; cool. Beat eggs until light; stir in sugar, then chocolate mixture and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, mix well.

Add nuts. (Carrie and I don't like walnuts, so we wouldn't add them. And Carrie doesn't like any nuts in her brownies... but she doesn't mind having a nut for a husband). One thing we will add in our brownies is peppermint patties in a layer between a layer of brownie mix at the bottom of the pan, and a layer over the top of the pan. They're some of the yummiest brownies ever, and the fact that they're cooked by the sun makes them even more exciting.

Bake in greased 9-inch round dark roaster pan, covered, for one hour (in a box cooker). Cut into squares. Try it!
