*This recipe is from a Mennonite cookbook.  We tried this one today and it was a big hit in our family (we shared with some friends too!)  It's still rainy and ugly here, so it seemed like a good baking day.

Ingredients:
2/3 c. butter
2 T. hot water
2 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1/2 c. chocolate chips

Directions:
Melt butter.  In a bowl, combine butter, hot water, and brown sugar, stirring until thoroughly mixed.  Cool slightly.
Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.  Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
Fold in nuts and spread batter into greased 9x13" baking pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over top.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.  Cool slightly and cut into squares. 
*These will be chewy in the center.

I'm clicking "comment" without looking at the recipe. I dare not! The name sounds too good! Anyway, you did a nice job fixing the links. Very talented, girl.
And it gives me the absolute creeps to think about those trapped miners in PA that time! Going willingly into a lava tube--it's huge, BTW--is much different mentally from being held against a person's will in a mine. Ooooh, I just got a shiver.

You are a bad girl for sharing this. We can blame you for the extra inches that this will add to our hips, right? LOL. Sounds yummy! I'll make these for desert tonight. Thanks for sharing!

Blessings,
Lori
