I don’t know about you, but we’ve been baking a lot due to the shut-in. My kids love brownies so we decided to make a few batches from other blogs and see what recipe we liked the best! Now don’t get me wrong, we still have our favorites like Coffee Frosted Coffee Brownies and Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies , however we wanted to try plain old brownies with no filling or toppings. Once we narrowed a few recipes down we got to baking and we found a winner. Cafe Delites was our favorite and I’m thinking it’s due to the melted butter. I feel it gives it that extra fudgy texture and taste which we all love. Plus it’s made in one bowl so that’s always a favorite…easy clean up! If you’re looking for an easy and delicious fudgy brownie recipe then make sure you give these a try!
