"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Lizbeth Muller, and today we're going to cook nice, hot fudge brownies. These are the ingredients to nice, beautiful, fudge brownies. You want to have some sugar, some all purpose flour, very good vanilla. We don't want cheap vanilla. You want really nice vanilla. Butter, chocolate, salt, powder sugar to decorate later, eggs, and those are the ingredients for this fudge brownie. Before, I said very good vanilla, but the reason I say that is because there's different kinds of vanilla out there. The main thing that you have to remember with vanilla is to make sure you buy real vanilla extract that is not artificial. If it's not pure vanilla it's not going to taste as nice and it's not going to be good for the brownies. "
