Once I accepted the reality that box mixes would not be a part of my life here, I began to search for an easy and tasty "from scratch" brownie recipe. This is the one I settled on and use all the time:

SERVES 16 , 16 YUMMY Brownies

6. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
7. Allow to cool , cut into 16 bars.

This recipe was originally posted here. I purposefully changed the name on my recipe to "Thank you God for a delicious, easy Fudgy Brownie Recipe." This time around I added peanut butter chips inside and out.
Yum...talk about wanting to reach through the computer screen! Thanks for sharing...xo,
