The Best Brownies Ever (and maybe the easiest)

I got this recipe from an old tiny little cookbook called Charlie Brown's Cookbook that the niece of my best friend gave me. These brownies are soft and fudgy, not cake like. You might be definitely will be better off eating them from a plate with a fork than out of your hand. They are so fudgy you don't need to add chocolate chips or icing but some people are chocoholics and do those things anyway. (Me) They are so easy to make you don't need a boxed mix with all those preservatives! Enjoy!  

Ingredients

1 1/2 stick Butter (12 oz)

9 Tablespoons Cocoa

4 Eggs, beaten

2 Teaspoons Vanilla

2 Cups Sugar

1 Cup Flour

Directions for The Best Brownies Ever

Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt the Butter, and Cocoa over a low heat. Remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients. Bake for about 25 minutes and check to see if they're done enough for you. I use a 9 x 13 buttered pan. If you use a smaller pan they might need to be baked for a shorter time. Enjoy!!!

Directions for S'mores Pie

Spread the Marshmallow Creme all over the Graham Cracker Crust.

In the freezer it only takes about 20 minutes and then you are ready to add the Whipped Cream topping.

What can I say? My husband does not get it about food photography. He thinks if the pie looks ready, eat it! 
*Note to self: Hide the pie next time.

Ingredients You Can Order and Keep Around
So You Can Make S'mores Pie in a Hurry

It used to be that you had little choice and had to go grocery shopping whether you enjoyed it or not. But these days that's all changed and you can order lots of food online. I take advantage of Amazon Prime and get free shipping all the time. I order all my staples and canned goods and soft drinks and wine online. Then all I have to shop for locally is dairy products and fresh produce. It really makes sense now that the price of gas is so high. Plus it's much easier. It comes to your door. Gotta love that!

Yummy Chocolate Frosting

Easy and Yummy Chocolate Frosting

I've always made my own yummy Chocolate frosting and sometimes I wonder why people buy fake Chocolate icing which is what I call the stuff you can buy in a can.

True it is quick, but I just don't like the taste of it. Maybe it's all the preservatives they put in it for a long shelf life.

It is very easy and fast to make fresh and yummy Chocolate frosting from scratch, and as a bonus, it's cheaper too. Here's a quick yummy Chocolate frosting recipe (or chocolate icing, if you prefer that term) that works for Cupcakes, layer Cakes, Cookies, and if you use a little less Milk, it is an outrageous Chocolate Fudge recipe.

Ingredients
1/2 cup Butter
1/4 cup Cocoa
6 tablespoons Milk
1 box Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Directions for Yummy Chocolate Icing

Chocolate Icing Recipe

Melt the Butter, Cocoa and Milk over a low heat. Remove from heat and add the Sugar and Vanilla. Mix well and spread on the Cake or Cupcakes while still hot.

Or to make this as a Fudge recipe, use only 3 Tbs. of Milk, and spoon it into a buttered glass pan to cool.

Either way, it's totally addicting.

Texas Sheet Cake Brownies

Chocolate Sheet Cake, Texas Sheet Cake, Sheet Cake Brownies and Texas Sheet Cake Brownies

What do all these recipes have in common? Plenty, as they are all the same basic recipe just called by these different names! (I call it Texas Sheet Cake Brownies.)

Depending on where you first tasted it and scrambled to write down the recipe, it's been called all of these things. It's either a "cake like" Brownie, or a "brownie like" Cake, or alternately, half Fudge, half Cake, and all pure Chocolate indulgence...

My grandmothers both made this recipe, and all the women in my family on both sides do too. So the recipe is not new, but it is still one of the easiest, FASTEST, and most delicious Chocolate cakes you could ever make, and there are no artificial ingredients added, so that means it's healthy, right?

We're all chocoholics in my family, so we use the Chocolate icing for this recipe and all other cakes too, but some people actually use Vanilla icing or powdered Sugar as a topping. Gasp, having trouble imagining the idea of icing without Chocolate...

Anyway, you probably have everything you need to make this cake right now...and if you don't, from now on keep the simple ingredients around and you will always have a quick gourmet dessert in a hurry whenever you need it. I can get this cake done in 40 minutes start to finish...

It's delicious warm or chilled. Add Vanilla Ice Cream as a topping and watch people swoon.

Enjoy!
