    You can't go wrong with a plate of classic chocolate brownies made from scratch! These are pure chocolate goodness!

    I love that you can add in toppings if you want or just stick to the classic chocolate taste.

    Do you like a centerpiece or the crusty edge piece when it comes to brownies? I am all in for the crusty chewy edge piece whenever I can get it.

    My husband bought me a Brownie Pan a few years ago that turns the entire pan into edge pieces and I might have swooned.

    Ingredients

    • Butter
    • Unsweetened Cocoa
    • Vegetables Oil
    • Sugar
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla Extract
    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt

    Optional topping for brownies includes powdered sugar, chocolate chips, powdered sugar + milk glaze, chocolate syrup, caramel, and butterscotch chips.

      Mom used to make them from scratch, but sadly my best have come from a box. Have to give homemade another try.

      These look delicious. I usually use a boxed mix for brownies, but I should try to make them from scratch.
