Brownies and the perfect pan..

I got the "Perfect Brownie Pan" for Christmas and I had to try it out... (yes, it's the one you've seen many commercials for..) I must say I used a regular old box of brownie mix to try out the pan, but I'm also including a recipe below for homemade brownies which I've made before and are really delicious. :) If you wonder whether you should buy the perfect brownie pan, do it! They sell it at Wal-greens and Target for $19.99... (Or at least they did during the Christmas season!)

1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, melted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
