These are best brownies.  And what makes them so easy to make?  Well this is a brownie recipe that uses your favourite boxed brownie mix.

And once baked, you can serve it up with your favorite vanilla ice cream. We love easy dessert recipes and I’m always looking for ways to help you get started baking!

Gooey Brownies make you feel cozy….

Gooey Chocolate Brownies are a good idea any time.  So simple to make, yet a rich and satisfying dessert to eat! Sometime I get so caught up in baking pies and cakes that I forget about the easy dessert recipes like these awesome rich chocolate brownies.

And my honey, Mark has a real sweet tooth and loves anything chocolate.  I always keep a variety of cake mixes in my pantry too, so that when the mood strikes, I’m ready to bake!  You can read all about setting up your own baker’s pantry right here.

Just thinking about a chewy fudge chocolate brownie conjures up a vision of brownies and a big glass of milk.  Am I right?

I can remember my Mother-in-law making her special homemade brownies during the week as a treat, when we would go over there for dinner!  They were so chewy and fudgy too. 

I’ve been making her recipe for a very long time, and it’s become another family favourite recipe.  It’s a homemade from scratch recipe, that uses sugar and cocoa, and gives you a ‘cake like’ brownie. 

We love chewy fudgy brownies in our home, and that’s why I’ve developed this simple chocolate brownie recipe for you to try!

I just made a batch this past weekend, and you can see by the photos that they are very rich and fudgy, just the way a good brownie should be.  🙂
