Nuggets of Gold for BrownieBabe!

I wanted to do the Browniebabe event last time, but I didn't get a chance to make any brownies. So, last week I decided to try some butterfinger brownies. They ended up being very "dark" tasting. That may be because I used cocoa with minimal oil instead of baking chocolate, but I liked it. I couldn't really taste the butterfinger that much but I think I may have cut the bars up too small. Maybe using the Butterfinger BB's halved would work better...or just use more butterfinger!!! Check out Myriam's site for the other yummy brownies that are entered. Last time there were SO many good looking ones! Nuggets o' Gold Brownies adapted from The Cookie Bible

3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate (I used 9 T cocoa and 1 T oil)

1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup AP flour (I used whole wheat pastry)

1, 3.8 ounce Butterfinger candy bar, coarsely chopped (I used 6 mini bars - would use more or bigger chunks next time).

Heat chocolate in intervals until completely melted. Stir in oil and set aside to cool. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Whisk in sugar, then add vanilla and salt. Stir in chcolate mixture, then mix in flour until all ingredients are moistened. Fold in candy. Pour batter into greased 9-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until edges begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool before cutting or use a plastic knife (or lettuce knife) to cut if you just can't wait!!!
