These fudgey brownies are almost like eating chocolate truffles.

3/4 cup HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Cocoa
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar - divided use
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Powdered sugar (garnish)

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease bottom of 9-inch square baking pan.
2. Melt butter over low heat. Add cocoa and 1 cup sugar; stir well. Remove from heat; cool about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in flour and vanilla. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form; gradually fold into chocolate mixture.
