This
is one of the best and simple recipes I found after a long time for a
brownie. I decided to bake some brownies as I had some left over cocoa
powder. I then realized that I had lost all my
recipes while moving, not that I missed my brownie recipe, my brownies
were more like brownie-cakes, they were soft, not dense. Nor were they chewy, but
it did taste good. So I started searching the internet for an easy
brownie recipe within minimum ingredients and steps and luckily my
search was just 2 clicks away and I found the recipe for the Chewiest Brownies from
allrecipes.com. The secret to Chewy brownies - no baking powder or
soda, now why didn't I think of that! They only ingredient I added were some
chopped walnuts.
Ingredients:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1 cup
- Melted butter - 1/2 cup
- White sugar - 2 cups
