Whole Wheat Brownie Mix

"Here's one way to get your kids to eat whole wheat - use it to make brownies!" suggests Roni Goodell from Spanish Fork, Utah. "My mom baked these often when I was younger. They're so good, they don't need frosting."

64 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min.

Ingredients

4 cups sugar
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup shortening
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS (for each batch):
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

in the refrigerator or freezer for up to 3 months. Yield: about 4
batches (about 11 cups total).
