Rich and Easy Brownies

These brownies were phenomenal! They were very easy to make and so moist and rich and delicious. My husband took most of them to work which was a big hit and we just kept a couple at home for us which was plenty. They are so chocolaty and would be great for any potluck or gathering or just a special treat at home.

Rich and Easy Brownies From Etc. for Her Magazine
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Bring margarine, sugar and water to a boil in a heavy saucepan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips until melted. Cool slightly and beat in the vanilla. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and gradually add the chocolate mixture and mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt and gradually add to the chocolate mixture. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips. Spread into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake at 325 for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool before cutting. May frost if desired, but really not need to.
