She has been making these for as long as I can remember. The smell of the butter and chocolate being melted together….the gooey fudge-like inside and slightly crisp outside…..you get the idea.

They are fantastic!! This is an easy recipe that can be whipped up in very little time (seriously – not much longer than it would take for a box mix)!
They are so delicious that all they really need is a dusting of powdered sugar on top. But Grandma always insists on adding the glaze. She says she likes the way it makes the brownies look shiny. And we certainly don’t argue with Grandma 😉
