mrs. t's brownies
(1 RATING)
These are the brownies my mother made when baking Congo Bars. They are the simplest, easiest and moistest brownies you will ever bake from scratch. I won a blue ribbon with these at the county fair and everyone loves them. ~You can use cocoa is place of chocolate. It will not change the taste. I prefer using dutch processed cocoa. The flavor is so much better that regular cocoa.~
