Homemade Brownie Recipe

4/12/15

Moist, decadent homemade fudge brownies are the ultimate chocolate lovers dessert

Delicious Homemade Brownies Made Completely from Scratch

The other day I was craving something chocolatey (like always right…nothing new). I thought about baking some cookies, but my son and hubby suggested that I make brownies, and who am I to argue with them? There’s nothing better than soft gooey brownies fresh out of the oven. It’s just pure heaven.
This made from scratch brownie recipe is an easy, delicious go-to recipe

These brownies are simply out of this world. Everything is just so perfect. They aren’t too rich, and they aren’t overly sweet.

Check out the video tutorial

    Hey Rosie, I just posted a recipe for homemade brownies on my blog today. Brownies really hit the spot when you want something chocolaty, but not too fussy to make. Your recipe looks so good.

    I been searching for an old fashion homemade chocolate icing recipe. The kind you make from scratch and not using conf-sugar.
