Are you thinking, really ANOTHER brownie recipe? I thought I’d share this one with you because it’s such a great recipe for mailing to a loved one (service men and women, missionaries, students, etc). If you have ever tried to mail cookies (especially out of the country), no matter what you do, they never seem to make it all in one piece. Or if they do, they are just not quite as good as when they’re first made. I sent these to my daughter Brookie when she was in China, and she could not believe how fresh they were upon arrival 10 days after they were sent from the US of A. Here’s the skinny…
These are super chocolaty, dense brownies. Follow the recipe and do not over bake. This is the first key to keeping the treat fresh tasting. Make sure to line the pan with foil and grease the foil before spooning batter into the pan. When the brownies are out of the oven, let cool, and remove from pan (by lifting foil out of pan) in one piece, cut brownies, and wrap the whole slab in foil and then slide into a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
Squeeze out all of the excess air. Place in freezer, and freeze overnight. When ready to mail, place in package with other items, on bottom of package if possible, with other items stacked on top, so brownies remain flat and in one slab in box. Mail the same day.
What better Valentines gift than a box from home filled with home made brownies?? Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Is there anything I can sub for the unsweetened chocolate? Dark chocolate? I really want to make it today, but forgot to buy unsweetened chocolate. Or unsweetened cocoa powder?

The standard substitute for solid unsweetened chocolate is 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon shortening or butter. Hope this helps!

Chef E.- Brownies for breakfast – come on over.
Heather- welcome!
Anon- I have not doubled this recipe. If I did, I would bake it in two pans, to insure the middle was done, without over-baking the edges. email me at Abountifulkitchen dot com if I can answer any other questions!

You could NEVER post too many brownie recipes in my book…also you could just line them up on your banner so I would get a triple knock me down affect when I come over. I swear, and I know I have said this before, but that banner is stunning and gets me every time! The brownies are not bad either…is it wrong to want them for breakfast?
