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.

Yummy! What a view. They look sooo good!
These frosted brownies are calling my name! I might even make some tonight.
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!
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:

Hi Mahek, No baking powder or soda in this recipe. They are very dense brownies!
