PASSOVER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Reserve 5 oz. of the chocolate; cut remaining 3 oz. chocolate into chunks. Mix sugar and unsweetened cocoa in large bowl until blended. Stir in eggs and oil. Mix in matzo meal, chocolate chunks and pecans. Spread into greased 8-inch square baking pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan on wire rack.
• Meanwhile, microwave reserved 5 oz. chocolate and margarine in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until margarine is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted; set aside. Dissolve coffee in water. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Add to chocolate mixture; mix well. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into 16 squares to serve.

PASSOVER (PESACH) BROWNIES

Steps:

• Beat eggs and sugar. Add oil. Mix in cake meal and cocoa. Add nuts (or use the nuts as a topping).
• Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 minutes. The secret to moist brownies, Pesach or otherwise, is to underbake them. Check them at 30 minutes. I also put nuts on top rather than in the brownies for two reasons: They make the top look good without having to frost them and, for those who don 't or can't eat nuts, they are easily removed without having to search for them.

DEB'S PASSOVER BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 8x8-inch baking pans.
• Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water; stir to mix well. Beat the eggs and egg whites together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gently stir the butter and chocolate mixture, sugar, coffee, and vanilla flavoring into the egg mixture, and beat well to combine.
• Mix together all of the potato starch, all of the matzo cake meal, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture with electric mixer until fluffy and thoroughly combined. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, and divide between the 2 prepared baking dishes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pan shows moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes.
