Delicious Homemade Brownies Made Completely from Scratch

A close-up image showing moist homemade brownies with a crisp chocolatey top.

The other day I was craving something chocolatey (like always, right…nothing new). I thought about baking some cookies, but my son and hubby suggested that I make brownies, and who am I to argue with them? There’s nothing better than soft gooey homemade brownies fresh out of the oven. It’s just pure heaven.

These brownies are simply out of this world. Everything is just so perfect. They aren’t too rich, and they aren’t overly sweet.

    Hey Rosie, I just posted a recipe for homemade brownies on my blog today. Brownies really hit the spot when you want something chocolaty, but not too fussy to make. Your recipe looks so good.

    Hi Rosie I love love your site

    I been searching for an old fashion homemade chocolate icing recipe. The kind you make from scratch and not using conf-sugar.

    Do you have such recipe? Or know where I can look. Thanks, keep cooking.
