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!
Ingredients Needed
- Flour
- Cocoa
- Sugar, granulated sugar and powdered sugar

How To Make Brownies for a Crowd

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 have a super busy evening ahead of us so we will be having a simple tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. For dessert we will be enjoying those Sprinkled with Flour’s Chunky Twix Cookie that you featured a while back. The first batch is in the oven now and I imagine I will be sampling one in about 15 minutes!
