These were a bit hit with the ladies at the YWCA Women’s Shelter. Always had to make several pans because the cook would eat a whole pan herself and the staff would identify the smell of brownies early find excuses to come into the kitchen all smiling and talking sweetly.
These are really easy to make!
I’ll let you know….I’ve got a batch going in the oven right now.
are you sure only a half cup of flour?
Sooooooo Yummy looking - I LOVE brownies!!!! (drooling down my shirt!) ;)
I am copying the recipe - tired of buying brownie mix - just as easy to do it from scratch, IMO.
Bless you for sharing this!!!!
