CHEW BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350. Melt stick of butter in a 13x9-inch pan - do not burn the butter. (Put pan in oven while it is preheating, then add butter while you mix the first two ingredients.)
• Mix brown sugar & eggs in a bowl. Slowly add melted butter, flavoring, and gradually add flour. Add nuts or leave out if you just want vanilla flavoring. This mix will be a bit thick. Scrape bowl right into warm pan. You can shake the pan a little, but you will NOT need to spread out - chew bread is self-leveling.
• Bake approx 25-30 minutes depending on your oven. If you overbake, you will burn it! You will also make it very tough.
