River Road Brownies






This recipe comes from the Baton Rouge Jr. League Cookbook, "Second Helping".
I cut these into 1 1/2 inch squares, and they were some of the best little brownie bites I've eaten.

    1. These are the best moist frosted brownies I've ever made or eaten in my life! I pushed some leftover Easter candy throughout (Nestle caramel center eggs). This is my new go to brownie recipe. Thanks!

    1. Hi Anon, I am a brownie lover, for sure. My favorite go-to brownie is the Cook's Illustrated Classic. I've been making it for years. It's just the right combo of a fudgey-cakey brownie. Here's the link:
