So here we go . . . if you have my Autumn Book, you can turn to page 107 and prop it up in front of you; otherwise, I’ll give you the whole recipe at the bottom of this post. First thing is to butter an 8″ square baking pan.
Then do what comes naturally, pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula, and pop it in the oven.
Pull it out after 30 minutes. For chewiest results, these brownies should be cooled completely before eating. This is not easy to do. Then cut them into squares.
Finally, they’re ready — you can eat them directly from the pan like many of the normal people do, or put them on a darling cake stand to make your table look beautiful . . . Adding a paper lace doily gives the whole scene that “professional” look!
Although at this point do we really care about professional? No, we do not. ♥
But still, there is always something to be said for cute. ♥

These are the best brownies I have ever made! Believe me I’ve made many recipes. My husband is a chocoholic and I’m not too far behind! If you’re looking for the best brownie, give these a try. Trust me they are dangerously delicious and so easy to make! Thanks Susan! ♥
Girl after my own heart! I love them too!
I love that you SHOW how to make things…not just tell.
It’s fun to take the pictures, although one of these days I’m afraid, with my buttery, floury fingers, the click button on the camera is going to be stuck closed!!
Good! My husband can’t eat nuts . . . so I put in chocolate chips! Yummmmm.
You had me at “…melt the chocolate and butter”! I can tell these are going to make mix buying a thing of the past! Can’t wait to try them!

Susan, i like a lot your blog, put me a smile on my face and happines in my heart, happy valentines day!!!!
I LOVE this recipe!! I cut mine with a heart cookie cutter, and then placed them on heart shaped doilies on my cake stand. My 14 yr old son even commented on how pretty it looks. Of course, I think his comment was intended for the CHOCOLATE brownies…he love brownies any way they come!
Happy Valentines! Thank you for making my Winter days so bright! XOXOXOX
It’s a drizzly, cold Sunday afternoon in south Texas, and I think these are the perfect way to warm up my house! xxooxxoo

My children are newly married and all so hard working, they’re in for a wonderful surprise along with heart healthy soup for their dinner. I am having so much fun this winter with your blog, tons of Thanks!!!!!
Love surprises like that, pure nurturing. ♥
