Are you sure it wasn't the _Better Homes and Gardens_ Cookbook recipe
from the same time period? It calls for 2 squares of Baker's chocolate,
and it makes an 8x8" pan. IIRC, the only "odd" measurements are 1/3 cup
butter, and the recipe has no baking soda nor baking powder.

I can look up the recipe and post it if you want. My brownie recipe is
modified from the BH&G a little, but I have a 20 year old BH&G cookbook
and can post the original.

I'll also check some chocolate boxes that have been in the pantry way
too long....

Best regards,
