Ultimate Brownie Recipe

February 8, 2017 by Laureen King 12 Comments

Rich and chocolatey this Ultimate Brownie Recipe that makes a super chewy centre and a perfect crackled top.

Ultimate Brownie Recipe

This perfect, chewy chocolatey brownie tastes great plain or topped with buttercream frosting. Try my recipe for Baileys Irish Cream frosting. The half tablespoon of instant coffee granules I added to this recipe made it taste even better! Not a coffee person, no problem, simply leave the coffee out. 

Ultimate Brownie Recipe

Enjoy these brownies with a large glass of cold milk or top with some vanilla ice-cream, YUM! A decadent dessert for the true chocolate lover with combination of dark chocolate and cocoa powder.

      hi Jennie, most times with baking a recipe will not turn out the same changing ingredient measurements, but by all means give it a try and see what happens. Drop me a note if you try.

    I was wondering since I’m not a coffee person, would I need to add the coffee?
