Easy 5-Ingredient Brownies

These yummy brownies taste and smell super chocolatey. They are very moist, and this recipe and 5 ingredients is all you need. For a tangy taste, substitute 1/2 cup buttermilk for 2 of the eggs or 1/4 cup buttermilk for 1 egg.

2 cups sugar
1 cup flour 
2/3 cup Hershey's cocoa powder 
1 cup butter, melted & cooled a bit
4 eggs
Dash Kosher salt (optional)

Heat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 13 x 9" baking pan with cooking spray or butter. 

Grab a wooden spoon and stir together the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Add a dash of Kosher salt if you like. Add the cooled butter and mix thoroughly. Add eggs, again mixing thoroughly. 

Spread the brownies evenly in the prepared pan. The batter will be thick. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely before you cut them so they can set. You can freeze these babies, too.
