I am a box kind of girl when it comes to brownies. I have only found one other recipe that beats a box and it's so involved that I only make it for special occasions.
Box brownies have lived up to my expectations in every way. Especially because I can let my kids mix them up in 5 minutes flat and then you bake and perfect! Moist, chocolaty, and amazing with hot fudge and ice cream. So yummy!!
Well my friends I have found another homemade recipe that is quick (not quite as quick as a box but still quite fast), super chocolaty, moist, and absolutely delicious.
The only problem is that you better have some place to take these or you might find that they have "accidentally" disappeared on you. Oops.
By the way, thanks to my Mom who gave me this recipe. She's had it for ages and I just barely found about it (which is probably a good thing or my hips would be 5 inches wider)!
