The Best Brownies Ever


Brownies. Boom. Done. That’s how I feel. Like I should make these brownies and throw some flour on the ground in a puff of smoke as a sign of triumph.

Let’s back up a little. I have been on the hunt for the perfect brownie recipe. Don’t get me wrong, I love brownies from a box. They are Delish with a capital “D”. I just like to bake things from scratch. I find it relaxing and rewarding.

However, I just haven’t been able to make brownies that taste better or even just as good as the box mix.

They are either too cake-like, doo dense (like gooey, sticky, bad dense), or too hard. I needed to find the recipe that was juuuuust right.

Then a chocolate craving hit me one weekend and I came across this fudgy recipe from Something Swanky.

These came out perfect – marvelous – delicious – spectacular.

Mission complete. Brownies found. Eat your heart out.

  • These sound delicious! I don’t often make brownies but when I do, we really enjoy them.ReplyCancel

    • I highly recommend them! And they make the smaller pan, which is good for me because I could eat the whole pan! 🙂ReplyCancel
