A few years ago I was sitting in my apartment desperately craving brownies but not in possession of a brownie box mix. I wondered, “Can I make brownies from scratch?”
Yes, that is a silly question but I had honestly never made or tasted a homemade brownie before – it was always from a box.
And so, I went on a quest to discover a brownie recipe that was “to die for” and I think I found it.
Things that I do – I use Hershey’s Cocoa powder, salted butter, vegetable oil (although I have tried olive oil), and I put my dry ingredient through a sifter. Also, I use an avocado spray for the pan (I’ve used regular PAM, as well as coconut spray – doesn’t make a difference).
If you want fudge like brownies I suggest sprinkling some semi sweet chocolate chips on top, right before placing in the oven. Don’t mix the chocolate chips in with the batter – been there, done that – doesn’t come out good.
A few warnings: People WILL ask you for this recipe. Any time I make these brownies for an event without a doubt I get asked for this recipe. Last warning – your house WILL smell like delicious chocolate brownies when you bake these and you will want to eat them all right away. Good luck!
Sounds yummy!!! With Ice Cream of course!!
