Everyone loves brownies!

It seems like I'm on a recipe roll.

I'm going to share with ya'll my mom's brownie recipe.

I hope she doesn't mind....oh well.

Brownies Simone

3/4 cup flour

1/3 cup cocoa

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

Mix together and then stir in

1/2 cup shortening

2 eggs

3 Tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla

Bake at 325 degree Fahrenheit for 25 minutes 

in a 8x8 greased pan.

I've started putting them in tiny cupcake pans and making

two bite brownies.

We had company for supper last night so I made 

Fudge Brownie Pie.

Which is really just a large piece of brownie with 

vanilla ice cream on top drizzled with chocolate sauce.

It's really horrible..not. 

But last night instead of making a large brownie, I shoved the little two bite brownies into

the ice cream.  Again...not very good.

I lie.

It's to die for!

Oh and a great thing about this recipe is that if you eat them standing up,

there's no calories!!! How awesome is that.

Again...

I lie.

My mom sometimes makes a chocolate frosting to put on top of the brownies.

So here's the recipe for that.

I'm telling you...I'm divulging family recipes left and right.

What else might I divulge?!

Chocolate Frosting

Cream together 

3 Tbsp butter

3 Tbsp cocoa

2 Tbsp hot water and 

1/2 tsp vanilla

Add 1 1/2 cups of sifted icing sugar

Beat until creamy.

Another thing you can add is crushed walnuts or pecans to the brownies before baking.

Gotta go before I reveal other family secrets!

Have a Blessed Day!
