I found this Baker's Chocolate Brownies recipe at the
Food Down Under website:

http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=16993


2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 x eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts

"Melt chocolate with shortening over low heat-a double boiler works
better for this. Mix flour with baking powder and salt. Beat eggs
well; then gradually beat in the sugar. Blend in the chocolate mixture
and vanilla. Add flour mixture and blend well, stir in nuts. Spread in
a greased 8-inch square pan. Bake 350: for 25 minutes (for moist,
chewy brownies); or about 30 minutes or until tester comes out clean
when inserted in the center of the brownies (this will be cakelike
brownies). Cool in the pan, then cut into squares.

NOTES : Recipe may be doubled, bake in a greased 9x13" pan at 350: for
25-30 minutes."



It uses the 2 squares of chocolate and the 8x8 pan but no "odd" amount
of sugar.
