Perfect Brownies

Perfect Brownies

Everyone needs a “go-to” brownie recipe. This is it! Perfectly delicious each and every time! These also pack really well in lunch boxes and bring lots of smiles to the kiddies. They can be the perfect bake sale brownie, too. Trust me, I know! Sometimes I call these Homemade Box Brownies because they taste as great as the box kind but from scratch! On another note, there is Nothing wrong with box brownies….in fact here is my secret for box brownies…..when I do make a box mix I use 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Dark Chocolate and bake them in one 9×13 pan for about 35 minutes. Sometimes it is fun to cut them with a heart shaped cookie cutter or any shape to match your theme. They come out absolutely perfect every time! You may want to check out this fabulous pan, too.
