Brownies from scratch!

My husband and grandson love brownies.  They requested them for the long Labor Day weekend.  Of course.  No problem.  After all I use a mix and can make a pan of brownies with my eyes closed.  I don’t eat brownies, or chocolate….allergic.  My husband said that’s why he married me.  More chocolate for him.

I went to my brownie mix shelf and it was bare!

I had already been out shopping earlier and was really looking forward to not going out again until the weekend was over.  Years ago I made brownies.  Lots of different kinds.  So.  just get the recipe and get started.a-basic-rule-of-baking-is-that-in-general-its-almost-impossible-to-make-an-inedible-batch-of-quote-1
