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

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.

We had a homebased mom meal — roasted chicken and veggies; spring green, proscuttio and pine nut salad; 7up biscuits and sliced tomatoes. Everything was delicious! Now I think I need to see if I have the ingredients for these brownies….

My kids and I have been learning about different countries all summer long and end the day by eating their cuisine. Tonight, my husband is cooking a Dominican Republic meal since he served his mission there. Should be interesting!
