Years ago, my sister in law had us over at her home for a family get together. She served brownie sundaes for dessert. The brownie was made from scratch and was absolutely delicious. I had to ask for the recipe. Come to find out I already had the recipe for Speedy Brownies at home. It was in an issue of Quick Cooking (now Simple and Delicious) that I had.
This is now my go to recipe for homemade brownies. I especially like to make brownie sundaes with these brownies. For today a made a quick version for Halloween. I ended up topping these chewy chocolaty chunks of goodness with mini Reese’s Pieces. That’s the beauty of the brownies you can change them up by whatever you want to put on top. Whether it be chocolate chips, nuts, etc. I love to top them with chopped toasted pecans and the make a brownie sundae. Come back on Monday when I’ll share with you an easy fudge sauce to top your brownie sundaes with. YUM! Have a great weekend!

I made these brownies last night. Put peanut butter chips on top. They were really moist and tasted fabulous. My husband said they were ‘evil’…LOL. However, I had to cook mine about 45 minutes on 350 so the middle would be done. Could be my oven. They came out so good.
