Best Brownies Recipe Ever

I shouldn’t share this because it’s a bit of a family recipe secret. BUT…It. is. so. good! Best Brownies Recipe Ever. Yes, I wrote that. And it is so true. This brownie recipe is so easy. So fudgy. So printer worthy! Make them for a holiday dessert, party treat, or school lunch…this really is the best brownies recipe ever…

Best Brownies Recipe Ever

Note: my Best Brownies Recipe Ever makes one 9×13 pan of Brownies or  2 Bernardin mason jar gifts for two 8×8 brownie pans. To make the mason jar gifts simply divide the recipe in half – pour the dry ingredients into a 500ml Bernardin jar and then write out the wet ingredients; diving them in half for an 8×8 Brownie pan.

    I’ve never met a brownie I didn’t like. But seeing “best” in front of a brownie recipe makes me want to make them right. this. instant.

    Brownies are a must! Ahah! I personally think it’s important to have the ingredients on hand at ALL times. You just never know when the craving will arise… <333

    I have never done a dessert or baking mix-in-a-jar type of thing, but I think it’s so cute. I’ve been seeing a lot of creative ideas lately that use this concept.
