best damn brownies ever

2 cubes (1 c.) butter
1/2 c. shortening
4 c. sugar
2/3 c. baking cocoa
8 eggs
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. vanilla

cream butter, shortening and sugar. add cocoa. add eggs mixing well after each one. add salt, flour and vanilla. divide into two 9x13 greased pans. sprinkle with choc chips. i've also thrown in other things like m&m's, reeses, 3 musketeers... endless possibilities.

you could use two pans, or just eat half of it. holy cow is it good-- worth the risk of salmonella. bake 30 minutes at 350.
