This recipe for River Road Brownies comes from the Baton Rouge Jr. League Cookbook, “Second Helping”.
I cut these into 1 1/2 inch squares, and they were some of the best little brownie bites I’ve eaten.
River Road Brownies & Chocolate Butter Frosting
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup sifted flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Chocolate Butter Frosting:
- 1 1/2 squares unsweetened chocolate, 1 1/2 oz
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions
- Cream butter and sugar in large bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until mixed well with butter and sugar mixture. Add all dry ingredients, just until incorporated. Fold in nuts.
- Pour into foil lined, greased 8 inch square pan.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Frosting: Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Combine chocolate mixture with remaining ingredients, beat until thoroughly blended. Frost cooled brownies, cut when cooled completely. Yields about 2-3 dozen bite sized pieces.

You have so many good brownie recipes! If you had to choose JUST ONE…what would it be?

Hi Anon, I am a brownie lover, for sure. My favorite go-to brownie is the Cook's Illustrated Classic. I've been making it for years. It's just the right combo of a fudgey-cakey brownie. Here's the link:

These are the best moist frosted brownies I've ever made or eaten in my life! I pushed some leftover Easter candy throughout (Nestle caramel center eggs). This is my new go to brownie recipe. Thanks!
