Deep Dark Chocolate Sour Cream Bars

"These cookies come from Camilla Saulsbury's Cake Mix Cookies book. My son (age 9) actually made these and they are VERY rich. Kinda a cross between a chocolate cake and a brownie. Perfect for your chocolate lover and very easy to do. Uses a chocolate cake mix."

  1. Thank you for posting these, Mary! They are rich, gooey and delicious! I didn't have a metal pan, so I used my glass one and they came out great! They are hard to cut though, because they are so chocolately, but delicious none the less. Big hit with my family! Easy too! P.S. I'm eating one right now for breakfast...ssshhhhh!
     
  2. Wow! What a hit!! I made these today and offered them to DH, DGS, and 3 contractors/handymen who were working in my home. One guy actually told me that they were the BEST brownies he had ever had in his life! Needless to say, these did not last long around here. Made as directed and everyone loved them. Even tho I'm not a dessert/snack maker - these will be listed in my favorites to make again. Thanks Mary for making me look so good! Made for Zaar Stars.
     
  3. Easy to make & WONDERFUL to eat ~ Just what a chocoholic would order! Made these up to share with some friends, then decided to keep them right here at home! A great 3-way chocolate fix! Love them & will be making these again & again! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit (& currently 4!) Wonders cooking game]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
