Layered Brownies

I got this recipe from Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth. It has quickly become one of my favorite treats to make. It's one of those that when you take the first bite you sigh and kinda melt into a puddle of pure delight. Yeah, it's really that good.


First Layer:
(Chocolate)

1 cup sifted flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/8 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/3 c butter
1 c brown sugar
1 T hot water
1 egg
1 T vanilla
1/2 package of chocolate chips

Sift flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
In a saucepan, melt the buter. Remove from heat. Add brown sugar and hot water. Add egg and vanilla.
Blend with flour mixture.
Stir the chocolate chips into the warm batter until melted.

Pour into 9x9 pan. Set aside.

Second Layer:
(Blondie)

1 cup sifted flour
1/2 t baking powder
1/8 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/3 c butter
1 c brown sugar

Add chocolate chips to top of brownies about half way through baking.
