B B's Brownies

Recipe #182491 | 50 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 16 , 18 brownies (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sweetiebarbara

When I first learned to cook... (more than 50 years ago!) my mother wrote out a recipe for Brownies on the back inside cover of her cookbook "All About Home Baking" copyright 1933. On the inside cover, she wrote, "To Barbara with loving memories, Mother. August 4, 1974. The one recipe for brownies contained in the book is not the one she wrote on the back. It begins: 1.Utensils 2.Ingredients 3.Light oven 4.Grease pan 5.Start I even wrote the specific utensils in the corner. Ahhh... I love these memories. The brownies are very light, and fudge-like, and the best I have ever had. I could not find a recipe like it here.

    Yummy! These were gone about 10 minutes after cutting them! Very moist and fudgy. I think I gained a few pounds, but it was so worth it! Thank you for this great recipe! I've been looking for a good brownie recipe for a long time!

    This was an easy to make recipe that uses ingredients I always have on hand anyway. My boyfriend says they are the best brownies he has ever had! I folded in about 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips since I like the extra chocolate flavour.
