Aunt Jane’s Brownies

Friday, April 25, 2008, by Sherra

I have no idea where my Aunt Jane got this recipe. I’m visiting next week so I’ll try to get the history of the recipe because I don’t want there to be any bad press surrounding the release of this recipe.

I just remember that whenever we visited her house she always had a pan of brownies for us.

The important facts you need to know right now are that these brownies are super easy to make and delicious. This is a great recipe for kids to make as you teach them to cook.

I’ve yet to meet a bad brownie.

Enjoy!

Did you mean to list flour twice?

Tina Ruddell » UGH!! Thanks so much for noticing that GIANT mistake (that is now corrected). Those would be some BAD brownies with no sugar and extra flour. LOL! That’s what happens when I type while taking medication for a migraine! :)

These sound so easy! I have a recipe from a friend for some we call “Brownies of Death” because they induce a diabetic coma if you eat too many but they take a lot of bowls and make a big mess. This one seems much easier with far less mess. And, I have to agree, I have never met a brownie I didn’t like! IMO, they are close to a perfect food!

Today's Deep Thought

  • Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of its head with a note that says "you." after that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.
