Brownies 2

Back to recipe list

Source & History

This recipe is from a cookbook called the Kid’s Cookbook, which has recipes that my kids used to use, and the brownies turn out very similar to the Chocolate Fudge Brownies. The advantage is this recipe only uses cocoa not melted chocolate. The disadvantage is that it uses a bit more butter and rather more sugar.

Notes

  • I heat the mixture for an additional minute on Medium in the microwave after addition of the sugar & vanilla
  • I use a whole packet of walnuts and don't chop them (see justification in Notes for Chocolate Fudge Brownies).
  • these should be a little gooey in the centre.
