The story behind the recipe:
This recipe was written down for me by my Mom as part of a family recipe book that I was encouraged to add to over time and pass down again. These brownies were the first recipe in the book that I made together with my daughter when she was 2. She loved them. We also wrapped some of them up and put them into our neighbor's mailbox too.
