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.

    I am off to work and my hubby is cooking for the kids. So probably cereal or he will take them to Grandma’s house.

    Friday night is always pizza night at our house, but it is so hot, I am thinking sandwiches may be better!
