This is my absolute favorite brownies recipe. It’s simple, irresistibly delicious and always a hit. Thís recipe will make you wonder why you never made them from scratch before. Add walnuts or pecans for a nutty variation.
I really think what makes this brownie recipe extra special is the the high quality chocolate, natural brown sugar, powdered vanilla and sea salt. I am not a fan of sweet. Period. Sweet anything, but somehow, this is one of those things that seems to make it into my gray zone. Sweet, satisfyingly rich and totally delicious. I’ve made this more times than I can count and passed on this brownies recipe more times than I can remember. Kids love it, colleagues love it, everyone loves it!
I’m pretty sure it can be converted into a cookie form too. Just pop the chocolately batter into the freezer, once cold and hardened, scoop on a prepared baking sheet and bake. Volia! Brownie cookes! Or try my double-chocolate brownie bread!
