National Brownie Day - The Best Brownie Recipe
/Happy Brownie Day, Gypsies!
Raise your hand if you like to enjoy a nice homemade brownie?! Well I definitely do, and even though I’m trying to be “good” and eat healthy, National Brownie Day needed my attention.
I am what you’d consider a boxed brownie type of gal BUT, I have been trying to find any reason to test out my husbands great grandmother’s HOMEMADE fudge brownie recipe.
I was shocked when I looked in my pantry and was able to find all of the items needed to make this recipe! Putting it together was easier, quicker, and less messy than expected. All in all, you’ll just put the dry ingredients together first, then add the wet. Bake it for about 40 minutes, then Voila! They’re finished! It was a fun afternoon activity of baking and making memories with the kids. We made a little video together and the kids enjoyed having a part in it.
We have a fun little challenge happening on our social media pages, so be sure to check it out! All you have to do is eat a brownie, snap a pic, and challenge someone to do the same.
The picture below is the actual recipe typed by Nanny. She made a typo and left out the part where you add the flour but just add it in at step 3.
