Best brownie recipe

[TxCat]

I'm a pregnant woman with cravings. What's everyone's favorite brownie recipe?

I've posted this before, and it's still my favorite brownie recipe (and brownie, in general).

Sand Art Brownies
1/3 cup cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix everything together. Pour in 9x9 pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. If using a glass or enamel pan, bake at 325.

If I remember correctly, it takes a lot longer to cook than 30 minutes. I might be thinking of another recipe, though. I just stick a toothpick in them to see if it comes out clean.

I've never used walnuts. I frequently play around with the kind of chips used in the recipe and have been happy with all of the results.

I love butterscotch brownies.

This the best!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use butter wrapper to grease an 8x8 baking pan, then make a sling with parchment paper so you can lift the brownies when they're done.

Sift and then whisk, 2/3 cup flour, 3/4 cup ground chocolate powder (I use Ghiradellis, it has to be sweetened), 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp baking powder.

Mis 2 eggs, 1 stick melted butter and 1 tsp vanilla. Add dry ingredients, then 1 cup chocolate chips. Bake about 30 minutes.

I buy the Ghirardelli mix, lol. Seriously, I can't make anything better than that from scratch!

That what I use! I take them to all kinds of parties and people devour them. I always feel a bit lame, but the results speak for themselves..... I always field recipe requests and take home a pan scraped clean. They are good. Costco sells a box with 6 mixes....

I like the Trader Joe's mix even better. The Ghirardeli ones never come out of the pan easily for me. I get compliments on the TJ ones all the time.

This is what we do when we want chocolate brownies. And then we throw some extra chocolate chips on top before baking.

I second (third?) the Ghiradeli mix....the one they sell at Costco. The Ghiradeli mix they sell in the grocery stores around here is not the same as the Costco mix....the Costco one is triple chocolate. The grocery store ones are just "normal" lol.

:yeahthat: I can do them from scratch (recipe from the Better Homes and Garden cookbook), but I just buy the big box from Costco and it works great. I always have it on hand. I have friends who swear by the Pillsbury box mix, but I can't get it to cook right.

I have had mixed results with the Trader Joes ones, sometimes they come out good and other times they don't. I like the normal Ghiradeli ones as well.

:yeahthat: I like baking from scratch too, but I like these brownies the best.

I make the Ghiradelli brownies when I need something for kids, but for adults I make Ina Garten's Outrageous Brownies.

The one bowl recipe on the Baker's unsweetened chocolate package. Substitute choc chips for the walnuts. Frost with choc fudge frosting, or dark choc frosting (usually the stuff from the can). Can't tell you how many people have asked me for the recipe.

Sent from my phone. Please excuse typing errors I've made, and auto correct 'fixes' I missed.

[twowhat?]

I love this one because the ingredients are so simple and easy to always have on hand:)

I use the Costco Ghirardelli mix and cut the recipe in half. Buttermilk isn't essential, but I usually have dry buttermilk powder in the fridge. Throw that in with the dry ingredients and use water or plain milk. Add a pinch of salt to the frosting too.

This thread is killing me. Darn diet.

In the past, I've used Ghiradelli mixes and we always love them. But, the BEST brownies I ever had were from the recipe on the inside of a large bar of Ghiradelli chocolate. Like 100x better than the mix.

My mom always made butterscotch, chocolate chip, marshmallow brownies when we were kids. Yum.
