Ultimate+Chocolate+Brownies

I have made this recipe numerous times. Sometimes I might add at the end, raspberry flavored choc. chips. I usually buy raspberry extract and add about 10 drops to a ziplock bag full of choc chips. Let it sit for a week or two. THis is a good recipe. I have not found one better or else I would put in on this site. Nothing is better than homemade brownies. **HINT:** If you ever make box brownies, add 2 tablespoons of Hershey's cocoa and people will think they are all homemade and not the box type.
 * DO NOT USE A ELECTRIC MIXER**, use a whisk and do it by hand.

3/4 cups Hershey's Cocoa 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2/3 cup Butter or margarine melted and divided 1/2 cup BOILING water 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups of flour 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup semi-sweet choc chips
