Plain Jane's Brownies
"This is from Plain Jane's Thrill of Very Fattening Foods cookbook and is the brownie recipe (from scratch) that I use the most. Moist with a deep, dark chocolate flavor. I have included a caution that was in the cookbook with the brownies.
Caution: Do not attempt to taste the chocolate batter before you've added the sugar. When taste-testing the raw batter, be sure to include one chocolate chip with each taste."

This brownie has the texture we like so thank you so much for your contribution to this site. Also thank you for the detailed instructions which certainly makes a difference to texture and finished product. Must try adding raisins as someone else suggested. -
This is the *only* brownie recipe I make. It's excellent with pecans. -
These are my favorite brownies ever. Of course, I am Mandabears' daughter, so maybe I am biased, but believe me, I know a good brownie when I eat one. Absolutely worth the extra (minimal) effort over a mix. I like to add raisins and walnuts to mine!
