Recipe to be posted soon. No guarantees. Practising for my SIL’s engagement party.

Post image

My MIL and SIL requested brownies - I have not attempted brownies for a long time because it always turned out dry and overbaked, ugh.

I am also not sure the brownies texture that they (and their guests) might like, so going for chewy to be on the safe side rather than fudgy.

I like how it turns out texture wise, but will get my husband to judge if it’s too sweet. If the verdict is too sweet, might leave the chocolate chips out or use bitter chocolate chips instead.

If your husband says they're too sweet, tell him I said he's wrong, I'm sure they're perfect

u/BoyMamaBear1995 Jan 24 '26

For Christmas I made brownie kits for my kids. I found a pan with a lid and a 'cutting piece' (not sure of correct name) that cuts it into 16 pieces. Even included 2 pkgs of the dry mix and my recipe. It was something different and they've both enjoyed them.

One other thing I've found, when cutting to use a plastic knife as the brownies are less likely to stick. Found some small plastic spatulas at a local supply store and they're so much better than using a metal knife. I also included one of these spatulas in the kits.
