With the big Independence Day celebration ( Sorry my friends up North, I missed Canada Day by a day!) this weekend, I thought this recipe might come in handy. They come together fast with ingredients I always have on hand. These brownies are always a hit and the recipe makes a lot. Perfect for a neighborhood party, family reunion or if you REALLY like brownies! I hope you enjoy them and have a very HAPPY 4TH of JULY everybody!!
Brownies for a Crowd (cookie sheet size)submitted by Melanie
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp cocoa (I prefer Dutch-it is darker)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups melted butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
Mix together and spread on a buttered cookie sheet (standard stainless steel). Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30 minutes. Be sure to not overcook. Frost
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
3 1/2 tsp cocoa
6 TBsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
Powdered Sugar--I have never measured. I just add until I get the consistency I want. If it becomes too thick I just add a little more milk.
Boil together, remove from heat and add powdered sugar. You can add nuts into the frosting or sprinkle on top if you would like.
WOW these look great and easy... thanks for sharing!

Looks very yum! This is for an 11 x 17 pan?
ReplyDeleteThese look great- I think they'd be perfect for the brownie sundaes I make only this recipe would feed a large group!Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYum! These remind me of Texas Sheet Cake. De-lish!
ReplyDeleteThese look yummy! I never do frosted brownies, but these look worth trying for sure!

ReplyDeleteI'm happy to have discovered your delightful blog through Food for a Hungry Soul. I spent so much time going through your recipes last night, and I bookmarked SO many!
These brownies look great!
ReplyDeleteI just made these brownies last night for an early Fireworks Party! They were a HIT! Everyone loved them! Thanks So much for sharing the recipe! They will be made often in our house!
ReplyDeleteJodi-I think the standard size stainless steel sheet is a little bit bigger that 11x17. My silpat fits perfectly in it. It is hard to measure because is the sides are slanted and get bigger. I think the official name is commercial half sheet jelly rollpan. I bought mine at Costco for 2 for $12. You can also get them at kitchen/ cooking wharehouses. I hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all your comments everybody! Anderson Family--I am glad you made them for your party and you liked them so much!
Thanks so much! These were sooo delish!! I made them today and over half the pan is gone already!! Happy 4th!
