BHG Fudge Brownies

I believe this recipe is from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook (the one with the red and white plaid cover) which I got in 1964. I used this recipe all through the years while raising my boys. This is the BEST brownie recipe ever! I only baked the brownies fo 27 minutes so they remained fudgy and incredibly delicious!

Thanks for sharing-I also made these for my kids growing up. So often I knew it by heart. Sadly- they're grown, the cookbook is who knows where and I'm happy to make them again.

Thank you for posting this recipe! This is the recipe I grew up with, my mother made these and I have never found a better recipe.

I've been making these brownies for thirty years. Wouldn't dream of using another recipe. The page this recipe resides in my BHG red and white checkered cookbook is completely falling apart :)

I still have that well worn old plaid cookbook. I've made thousands of brownies from its recipe for my children and a lot of brownies became gifts to friends and family. Bunches of them went to college friends of my children! That cookbook was one of my wedding gifts 61 years ago. I had never cooked when I married so that book was a well used life saver.

I agree with previous comments that this is the easiest recipe that results in such delicious brownies. They're extra yummy slightly warmed and topped with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. I have the same cookbook and it's been my go-to cookbook for well over 40 years. It has recipes I've made countless times. My book is falling apart, too!

I can’t believe it! I’ve been looking for this recipe for the longest time . I grew up in the 1950’s and my mother always made these . I had the recipe and then lost it not long after my mother died. I can’t wait to make them! THANK YOU!
