Mom's brownies

The original recipe for these brownies was Grandma West's.
Aunt Martha said that she used to make them every Sunday, so they called them Martha's brownies.
But when my mom made them she increased the eggs from 4 to 5. So this is how SHE made this recipe.
So whether you call them Grandma's brownies, Martha's brownies, or Vicki's brownies, they are a family favorite!
