Mmmm....Fudgy brownies are my favorite! My grandmother was well known for her fudgy brownies as well; unfortunately, she passed away with out giving her secret recipe up. Thanks for sharing your grandma's recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteI see salt in the directions but not the amount in the recipe. But the picture makes me want to eat my computer

I love it! Hugs from Brazil!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like and reads very similar to Texas Sheet Cake. YUM
ReplyDeleteThese have great flavor but seem a little dry. Maybe less flour? Or add some water? Not sure. Is the recipe complete? I added 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of salt, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl!
DeleteSorry about that. The original recipe calls for margarine rather than butter which makes them much more moist. We have updated the recipe. Thanks!
Thanks. That could be the difference. The flavor was great!
DeleteThere is margarine in the directions also, but not in the ingredients list???
ReplyDeleteHi Jen!
DeleteSorry about that! We have fixed it. :)
Made the brownies yesterday. Soo disappointed. It's missing something. They are way too dry. :(
ReplyDeleteHi!
DeleteI am so sorry. We made a mistake on the recipe that has now been changed. The original recipe calls for margarine rather than butter, which makes a big difference in how moist they are. I am so sorry about that!
I think there's still an issue...made them today and I think it has about twice as much flour as it needs. The brownies were pale and incredibly dry.
