- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Sometimes Grandma lined the baking pan with foil instead of using nonstick cooking spray. She left plenty of foil overhanging each end to use as "handles" to get the brownies out of the pan. She let the brownies cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then lifted them out, using the foil handles, and placed them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
