Home made Brownies are a staple at our house! They are really no more trouble to make than the boxed brownies and this recipe is our favorite. Twenty-one Years ago I collected recipes from my family to create a recipe book. Profits from the book were donated to a local charity. As you can see from the photo, my recipe book is well loved. With twenty one years of use, it has seen it’s fair share of flour, sugar, and other ingredients spilled or dusted over its pages. My Great Aunt Sadie shared this recipe for my collection. I altered it a little because I never have unsweetened chocolate bars on hand. I do have cocoa powder and, as you will learn, I prefer to use ingredients I keep in the pantry. I modified the recipe to use cocoa powder and Noah thought it would be good to add chocolate chips to the batter, because let’s face it, you really can’t have too much chocolate! I hope you will give these a try!
