Brownies

2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Oil
1/4 cup Water
6Tbsp Cocoa
4 Eggs
1tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 cup Flour
1tsp Salt
Mix the first 4 ingredients in a sauce pan over med heat stiring until it forms a paste like texture. (don't let this get to hot or you will have to let it cool before adding the eggs.)
Take pan off the heat and add the eggs and vanilla.
Add the flour and salt and mix well. You can add chopped walnuts or pecans and white or milk chocolate chips at this stage. Other alternatives are M&M's or chopped up bits of Snickers bars, you would be best to put them on after you have put the brownie mix in the pan, you can then push them into the mix with the end of a wooden spoon.
Pour into a greased and lined 9 x 12 baking tray and cook at 350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes. Don't over cook.
Take out of the oven when a tooth pick comes out of the center clean. Leave to cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then cut into squares before turning out onto a cooling rack.
