Go Back

I haven't made sweet treats in quite some time and I have to tell you this was the recipe to come out of my "sugar-stand-off" for sure.
I took this recipe from the Joanna Gaines cookbook Magnolia Table volume 2. I'll link it below.
It is simple, it is quick to make, and I have to say it is OFF the HOOK terrific. I'm doing a deep dive into these Magnolia cook books and I hope every recipe I make from these cookbooks are as spectacular as this recipe. I'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, this is a perfect recipe to make for kids after school or to bring to a gathering or, last but not least, bring these to the cabin (you will be the hero of the weekend).

  • Scrap the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
