Basic Brownies

By srumbel

The great thing about this recipe is that it uses pantry staples - so you probably already have everything on hand. I love that these cook up so thick and fudge-y! Although we usually enjoy them just plain like this - sometimes, we add mini M&M's, or add a thick layer of chocolatey frosting or doctor them up some other way. If you're looking for a simple, basic brownie recipe that doesn't disappoint - definitely give these a try!
