Need to feed a crowd? This Brownies for a Crowd recipe is perfect. A delicious recipe that makes
One of the best parts of being a blogger is all the really nice bloggers you meet along the way.
I attended my very first blogger conference a few years ago and one of the first people I met was Laura from Real Mom Kitchen. She was so friendly and kindly let me hang a bit with her and her sister that day. I love Laura’s blog and have used many of her recipes. When she told me she was coming out with a cookbook I was so excited for her. I was even more excited when she shared with me an “advance” copy.
And in the meantime you can drool over these yummy brownies, a recipe I made from Laura’s new cookbook – Brownies for a Crowd.
I know some people prefer a chewy, gooey brownie and others a more cake like brownie. I am right in the middle and these brownies are just that – a little chewy but not too chewy and a little cake like but not too cake like.
The recipe calls for a chocolate frosting but I ran out of time and butter so I just sprinkled them with a little powdered sugar!
In addition to being just the right consistency of brownie this recipe makes a large batch – it totally filled my 12 x 17 jelly roll pan almost to overflowing! I had a couple of different meetings at my house this past week and this big batch of brownies was perfect.
The next time you need a nice big batch of brownies give this recipe a try and be sure and check out Laura’s new cookbook.

Made these for a junior baseball league sale and they went like crazy! For individual wrapping did not ice. They requested another tray today. They are perfect.
