Need to feed a crowd? This Brownies for a Crowd recipe is perfect. A delicious recipe that makes brownies for 30.

Brownies

When I attended my first blogging conference, one of the first people I met was Laura from Real Mom Kitchen. I love Laura’s blog and have used many of her recipes. This recipe for Large Batch Brownies is a good one.

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.

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!

Ingredients Needed

  • Flour
  • Cocoa
  • Sugar, granulated sugar and powdered sugar
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Butter
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Salt

How To Make Brownies for a Crowd

  • Beat eggs in mixer until blended
  • Add sugar, salt and vanilla and beat for 1 minute
  • Melt butter and blend together well
  • Combine flour and cocoa in a bowl and whisk until well blended.
  • Add cocoa mixture to wet mixture and mix until well combined
  • Spread into a greased 12 x 17 jelly roll pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes
  • Cool for 15 minutes
  • Mix together powdered sugar, butter, and cocoa along with enough milk to make the frosting a good consistency to spread
  • Spread over brownies after they have cooled for 15 minutes
  • Allow to cool

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! And they were delicious.

    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.
