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!

- 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 had fish tacos for dinner tonight. If someone would have told me two years ago that I would be eating fish tacos, I would have told them they were crazy. I now love fish tacos! I use the frozen tilapia from Cosco, defrost and bake. Then I mix up some black beans with some corn and a shallot or two and bring to a boil. I use corn tortillas and soften for 10 seconds – 5 per side in a little canola oil. I had sides of cheese, salsa, chopped fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and cilantro. Yummy! I hope this recipe qualifies for entry for that cookbook. I’d love a new cookbook.
