I've been searching for the best brownie recipe for some time. This recipe, which adds brown sugar and hot fudge topping to the batter, is sublime.
My niece Grace gave me a Brownie Mix in a Jar for Christmas. It was beautifully layered and presented in a canning bottle with a bright red bow. I made the brownies a few days ago, and all I can say is wow!
I changed the way the batter is made and I think the end result really deserves the title of Sublime Brownies. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully; they're a bit different from most brownie recipes. Also use the best quality cocoa powder you can find, as it is crucial to the brownie's taste and texture.
I like to bake brownies in a round pan. Then they are cut into wedges, which is a nicer presentation than squares or rectangles. Be sure that you don't overbake brownies; that's a rule for every brownie recipe. If they're underbaked, they will simply be creamier in texture.
Enjoy this fabulous recipe!
Sublime Brownies
- ½ cup butter (no substitutes)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. water
- ¼ cup hot fudge ice cream topping
