    The Best Ever Brownies

    December 5, 2011 by Alexis

    I found The Best Ever Brownies recipe about 4 years ago when I was getting really frustrated with boxed brownie mix. 

    I would get a hankering for a really amazing brownie, whip up a box mix like my mom used, and then be disappointed with the results.  They never seemed to be “just right”

    So, enter this little gem of a recipe.  I cannot remember what magazine I found this in.  But I do know it was from a magazine.  I don’t even remember what the recipe was called.  I just call them “THE best ever brownies.”

    Don’t you just wanna lick the beater?  Oh yum!

    This is a nice thick batter.  You can see what I mean when I say “spread it in to the pan”.  The thick consistency is what keeps is so yummy and rich in the middle, yet creating a nice cracked top.

    Trust me, you will want to eat these for breakfast with your coffee.  I know. I’ve been there.
    The Best Ever Brownies
    I bake them in a foil lined pan so that I can cut them easily once I pull them out of the pan and let them cool.  They keep longer if you store them in a Rubbermaid container.

    The Best Ever Brownies Ingredients
    1 cup butter, melted (use the real stuff )
    1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 tsp salt
    4 eggs
    1 1/4 cup flour
    2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (DO NOT use more…I promise, it will only ruin the texture….I have tried it)

    1.  Preheat oven to 350
    2. Line 9X13 baking pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray
    3.  In a large bowl, combine butter and cocoa.  Mix well
    4. Add sugars and salt. Mix well
    5. Add eggs.  One at a time and mix well each time in between eggs.  Do not add all at once, and really mix well.  You don’t want a bite of chocolate cooked egg bit.  Gross!
    6. Add flour. Mix well
    7. Gently stir in chocolate chips
    8. Bake 30-35 min until the edges pull away slightly from the pan and center is done.

    *If you are needing to make a goodie for a Christmas party or guest, drizzle some melted white chocolate over these delicious babies and serve them with a very proud smile.  I have even drizzled melted Andies mint candies over them.  OH.MY.Heavens!!

    Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I sh Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I share my faith with others. It can be hard to figure out where to start, but by sharing your faith with even one person you've already made a difference.

Share your faith with those around you authentically. It's important to show that your life isn't perfect. Talk about the good and the bad and what God has done for you in those times!  Talking about God and His faithfulness each day helps create a natural flow.  Talk about God often through the day in casual settings and just in conversation. 

Pray for those you interact with. Pray for God to place someone in your life who needs Him.

Of course, my greatest way of sharing my faith is with you all. I love that we've created a community here full of joyfulness and rejoicing in God’s perfect ways. I've been able to write about my own experiences (good and bad/hard) on the blog and here on Instagram, in a way where I'm able to encourage and really connect with new friends.

If you ever need any advice I'm always here! Tag someone in the comments you want to pray for today. Or simply leave us your 🙏 to spread a little joy 💕

    This travel schooling adventure has been nothing s This travel schooling adventure has been nothing short of amazing. We have finished out 2 weeks on the road and we have driven over 2,000 miles! We zigzagged across Utah and went through the center of Arizona.

My very favorite scenery so far has been Arches National Park. My goodness…..it is stunning! We went twice to Goblin Valley to play on all of the big red rocks.  

We still have about 5 more days before we get home and plenty more to explore.

We are creating memories that will bond us for life and I am so so thankful for this special time together.

What’s one of your top favorite places you’ve ever visited? Comment below 💕
