     Title: Pass The Port Brownies
Categories: Brownies
     Yield: 1 Batch

     1 c  Butter (227 g)
     8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
          - (227 g)
     4 lg Eggs
 1 3/4 c  Granulated sugar (350 g)
   1/4 c  Port wine (60 ml)
   1/2 ts Salt (2.5 ml)
   1/2 ts Baking powder (2.5 ml)
     1 c  All-purpose flour (128 g)
   1/4 c  Unsweetened cocoa powder
          - (60 ml)
     8 oz Additional semi-sweet
          -chocolate chips (227 g)

 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two
 13x9" (33x23 cm) baking pans. Place the butter and chocolate chips in
 the top of a double-boiler over hot water. Stir the mixture until the
 butter and chocolate are completely melted and smooth. Remove the
 butter and chocolate from the top of the double boiler and allow this
 mixture to cool.

 In the large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until well
 blended, then blend in the port and cooled chocolate mixture. Blend
 in the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa, mixing until all the
 ingredients are well incorporated. Fold in the additional cup of
 chocolate chips if desired.

 Pour batter into the two prepared pans and bake for 20 to 25 minutes
 or until a knife is inserted into the center of the pans comes out
 with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. While the brownies are
 cooling on racks, cover each pan with foil. This will enable the
 brownies to continue to steam a bit while cooling and ensure their
 moistness.

 Frosting and toppings (optional):

 Chocolate butter cream frosting, top with chopped nuts, chocolate
 chips, peanut butter cups, crushed Oreos, or candy bars and drizzle
 with chocolate syrup.

 Time Saver Method:

 When you are short on time, use a good quality brownie mix,
 preferably a fudgy variety, and substitute port or a liqueur for the
 liquid portion of the recipe and proceed with the above variations.
