We all want warm chocolate over the cooler months coming up. And what better way to get our warm chocolate fix with a plate of gooey, luscious brownies? Yum.
Here's an inexpensive way to whip up a batch whenever the mood strikes. No need to go buy a box of brownie mix at the store. Make your own at home. (Unless you regularly stock up anyway).
Basic Brownie Mix
(Makes 6-8 batches of brownies)
6 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons salt
8 cups sugar
8-ounce can unsweetened cocoa powder
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well, and then transfer to a large container with a lid. Label and date the contents. Store in a cool, dry place. Use within three months.
To make a single batch of brownies:
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/4 cups Basic Brownie Mix
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan. Combine wet ingredients and mix well. Add brownie mix and stir well. Optional: stir in nuts. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.

All That and a Box of Rocks
What a great idea Jen!! So easy to do and nice to have on hand! Thanks for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteYUM! Thanks so much! I will add this to my recipe box right now.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy, buy my favorite way to have chocolate is in my hot cocoa. I'm an addict, even in the summer I have to have my daily cocoa.
ReplyDeleteReally??? How cool is this... I will put this on my list to make - and what a great Christmas gift!
ReplyDeleteJen T. That is really funny. I am catching up here and I see that you have brownies on your post here and I had brownies on my post for Sunday. It must be the season. I like the idea of making up a bunch of mix all at once. The only catch is that we would eat a lot more than we probably should::)
