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.

how many servings does this brownie recipe actually make?
Leigh Anne says
Laura, It is baked in a 12 x 17 pan so the serving amount would depend on how big you cut them. You can decide how many servings you want and cut them to the size that would give you that many.

I cooked smothered chicken and rice. Green beans with bacon, candied yams and sweet corn bread. I love living in the south.

Ooooh these look yummy!
Tonight we are having sandwiches and fresh fruit for dinner. It’s too hot here in Texas to bring any additional heat into the house!
