These brownies are from the old cooking style of cooking everything together before baking it. I absolutely love this recipe, they were an absolute hit at my house.
So, I could not help myself last evening and had to make this recipe I came across in the family recipe archives. I don’t know which family member originally wrote this recipe but it is amazing. The taste reminds me somewhat of those cosmic brownies you can buy at the convince stores. I get one every time we take a road trip. I’ve noticed each of our family members has a particular snack they go for with we travel. Mine is Milo’s Sweet Tea, Cosmic Brownies or Combos. What’s your favorite “road trip” snack?
