Chocolate Fudge Brownies

 

I made these brownies twice.  And not once did I have the chance to slather them in luscious chocolate butter cream.  Brownies go fast in my house.  With my two girls, my two nieces, hubby, mom and sister in the kitchen, really did they have a chance.

Always the blogger (thinking of the photo I just had to snap) I tried to slice these brownies into pint size pieces.  Of course this backfired, because after one bite everyone came back for more and more.  Can you blame them?

 

 

I myself had three (did I just say that out loud?).  Anyways , we kick off our cooking spotlight of Joy the Baker’s Cookbook hosted by girlichef with Chocolate Fudge Brownies.  So Joy.

Joy oozes sweet.  She makes baking fun, relaxed and approachable with her quirky sense of humor. She LOVES her parents and is first to acknowledge her passion in the kitchen is due to the time spent with them baking.

Love, Love, Love…

    That’s a good story – I love brownies but opted to make the crackers for week one. After seeing so many brownie posts I am thinking i will make these for week three when it’s our pick of reacipes! Lovely job here.

    I understand completely. I can’t keep baked goods around in my house either. Yours look great without the frosting!

    Your mini brownies are so cute. I think you would have had even more trouble keeping them around with the frosting–it was pretty incredible too. 😉

    Love the brownies! You really need to try the chocolate buttercream frosting….if not with the brownies, then on cupcakes or somethings. It’s really good.

    I really like your ‘bite-size’ brownie idea. I made the crackers, but really need to give these a try. I think I would omit the frosting on purpose…not a fan. Usually too sweet for me.

    Mmmm…your brownies look like they turned out perfectly — so fudgy! I agree, they can definitely hold their own without the frosting, although the frosting made with the classic Ovaltine is pretty darn tasty.

    So glad to be sharing the cookbook challenge and spotlight experience with you. Looking forward to see what you pick for week 3!

    Best,

    You’ll have to try the frosting! Hide the brownies if you have to. Lock people out of the house…well, maybe not. I do like your cute little bite-sized brownies.

    Brownies never last long enough to frost in my house, either. Although I prefer them that way. My favorite is just a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Or possibly a creamy, light peanut butter frosting. Really ANY way is going to be good for me!

    Oh yes, these were dangerous to have around. I restrained myself to two…but only because I brought them into work and they were eaten within seconds!
