Generally, I'll make a double recipe of these brownies—they go so fast no matter where I take them! I've baked them for family dinners and church suppers, and never had any left over. They're very easy besides plus both keep and freeze well.
I've been cooking since I was 10. My husband is retired, and we have four grown children.
