Brownies are my favorite! I like to us a recipe from Cook’s Illustrated that I’ve had for a long time. I don’t always add nuts but when I do it is pecans. Ghirardelli box mix is really good too. I add a 1/2 tsp. of espresso powder to mine to enhance the chocolate taste. I also love them with chocolate frosting on top!
I love Brownies but The edge is not my favorite part. So I don’t think I would like your pan. But my son would love it! Have you ever tried making ice cream sandwiches with brownies? You have to make them thinner than you normally would, but oh my…they are delicious!
Brownies?? What’s not to love?? ❤️❤️ I like mine dark and fudgy but without the nuts. The edges are my favorite, which worked well in our family. My husband loves the middle as do some of our children . Others love the edges, so it works out perfectly! Love all of the items in this giveaway package. Happy sewing!
My family also loves brownies I add cream cheese to mine🤩
Who doesn’t love brownies? I esp love the hard crunchy edges! That pan looks amazing! Thank you Pat for a great block!
I always keep at least a couple of boxes of brownie mix in my pantry. Just in case. No nuts for me. Chocolate chips and coffee flavored frosting….yum. thanks Pat.
I had a craving for chocolate and made brownies on New Year’s Eve! Milk chocolate ones and the edges are my fav! Thanks for your videos and all you do for us!
I do love brownies and have a very fudge like recipe using 6 eggs. I like almonds or pecans as nut options but I also like raisins in my brownies. I have also made a rocky road brownie with marshmallows on top with a drizzle of fudge like “ icing “ – pure decadence – I love the first block of the sew along and am excited to join in this one – my first.
I love brownies, too. I use a recipe from my home ec teacher. Her recipe used mayonnaise. It’s so delicious.
My kids love brownies and can’t get enough of them. For birthdays I make chocolate frosting and serve them with ice cream. Always a hit with no leftovers!
My family also Love Brownies. Love the cake like type but….There must be two pans for all to be happy. Half with nuts, half without. We also add a milk chocolate cake frosting. Now I’m on my way to your Amazon link to check out that amazing pan. Thank you for all you do Pat.
I love brownies. I usually use a Duncan Hines mix because for some reason my homemade brownies dry out quickly. Now I have to try Ghiradelli. Your pan would be great for me but my daughter doesn’t like the edges. I don’t understand that. . . . it’s the best part. If you like ice cream with your brownie, you can’t go wrong with mint chocolate chip.
I love using brownie mixes too! Enjoy the addition of chocolate chips and nuts!
I make the One Bowl Brownies that are ingredients from scratch. I very rarely if at all use a Brownie Mix. Also I add a teaspoon of vanilla to the mix to give it that homemade taste. The recipe is as follows:
4 Squares Ghirardelli Unsweetened Chocolate or use Milk Chocolate, 3/4 cup margarine or butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Microwave chocolate and margarine in large microwavable bowl on HIGH 2 minutes or until margarine is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Stir in sugar into melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir in flour and nuts. Spread in 13 X 9 pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
For cakelike brownies, stir in 1/2 cup milk with eggs and vanilla. Increase flour to 1 and 1/2 cups.
This is the only mix I use for brownies.
I LOVE brownies…but I like thick cake fudgy brownies and I definitely prefer the middle where it’s slightly undercooked and gooey! You’re making me hungry for brownies! Cute block, I hope to participate, still trying to figure out my fabric and order some “extra” to go with my FQ bundle.
I adore Brownies especially if they have runny middles!
Because I have diverticulitis I can’t have nuts. I love brownies. I’m not an edge fan so center brownies are fantastic.
I love brownies! We love altering the box recipe. Have you ever tried S’more brownies?
This being said, chocolate is a trigger for my acid-reflux so my eating them are few and far between but that doesn’t mean I can’t bake for others.
We love brownies! So glad to hear you use a box mix, we use the same.
I love brownies. All brownies. It’s amazing that boxed mixes are so yummy but they are, and so easy to make!
I like brownies but I always add some chocolate chips to them. I like the center strangely enough – probably because my sons always ate the outsides !
Our family also loves brownies. When my girls were teenagers sometimes (certain time of month) I would melt marshmallows on top and frost with chocolate frosting. Normally we just like to add some caramel. Chocolate and caramel are the greatest combo. Beautiful
Sweet block!
Love fudgey dark chocolate with chips brownies. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla to a mix takes it up to a higher level. I. Am gonna have to check out that pan, too. 😉
I love brownies and they are more enjoyable eating them with my grandchildren. We eat them with butter pecan ice cream drizzled with carmel and chocolate sauce.😋
I love brownies! When I was kid I used to hate the edges and only eat the middle but now as I get older I only like the edges
Love all the chocolate with brownies
I love brownies but think I prefer the middles unless I have a cup of coffee to dunk the edge pieces in. Love chocolate chips but not nuts. I use a mix sometimes and make from scratch sometimes. I love your patterns and have enjoyed making several of them last year.
I love brownies and the corner pieces but my husband wants frosting on top – too much sweet! I frost his section and let my half “go naked”. I use the Ghirardelli mixes too but I don’t add anything to them. Two of my election judge buddies bring brownies laced with coffee and they are delish. It is a long day at the polls but I always look forward to Dean and Sue’s brownies to keep us going!
Brownies and are always a family favorite at any gathering any time of the year!
Love brownies. Need to get the pan. Thanks for doing the videos
I love cake type brownies with walnuts. My husband doesn’t like nuts in his brownies so I make ours without. I am thinking your edge brownies pan is the bomb!
HI Pat….I have a special pan as well for my brownies. It make individual ones so everyone gets 4 edges!!! Thanks for the Sweet Dreams…I still have to get things together and play catch up.
I love fudge like brownies with lots of walnuts. One of my favorite desserts to make for my family is brownies with snickers candy mixed in. It is so good. Thank you for all you do it is appreciated by those of us that learn so much watching your daily video.
We love brownies. I’m an edge person. In our house when our kids were small their farther would cut the brownies race car style. What a messy pan of brownies but the kids loved it. He cut complete with sound affects. It was fun.
I love brownies. They are a condensed chocolate that’s so addictive you have a hard time leaving them alone. I love the new pan. I want one. Your fabric for this project is soooooo pretty. I can’t wait to get the fabric and get started. Thanks Pat. I look forward to your videos everyday. I’m addicted.
I love all brownies. My latest favorite is a brownie with mint frosting or a layer of mint between the cake and chocolate frosting. Any brownie and a big glass of milk; you can’t go wrong.
Oh how we love brownies! I have two sons and that was the go-to baked treat for every Cub Scout meeting, theater rehearsal, football practice, and all their friends get togethers. Before you even mentioned that special pan you use, I was going to suggest that if you had not seen it before. Thanks for starting my day with sweetness.
We love brownies, especially my husband! We like lots of walnuts a nd chocolate frosting on top.
Brownies! Well, I like them but I like maybe one a day at best. I don’t have the biggest sweet tooth, but if you add just the right mix of chips and nuts (and maybe a hint of coconut once in a while, I might be convinced to try a second later in the day! Love that pan you showed also. I never would have imagined one of those!
I ❤️ brownies!! Now that you have stirred up a craving, I think I will make some today. Luckily I have my Ghirardelli’s in the cupboard. I like pecans rather than walnuts and some extra dark chocolate chips. Yes! More chocolate please!!
My family and I love brownies, we’re always trying to be the one that gets the good corner ones. Luckily, as I’m the one baking them, I always get the first one! I tell them it’s the perks for doing the baking! Lol
I love making sundaes with brownies! We add vanilla ice cream, crushed Oreo cookies, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It’s an incredible dessert!
Brownies are so sinfull. Love, love them.
I love the soft chewy part of brownies. My favorite are the brownies from scratch with chocolate chunks. But if someone else is doing the baking, I will eat any type of brownie. Please leave off the nuts.
Thank you again for another wonderful inspiring sew along. I think I’m going to really enjoy this one. Because I love desserts.
My brownie secret is to under cook them a little, so they are chewie inside!
Brownies are my favorite. I love the crusty corners. My favorite recipe is. Disaronno Amaretto with pecans
Love Brownies
Oh yes, we love Brownies too! I use the Ghirardelli mixes too and always add a few more chocolate chips. I love walnuts but my husband doesn’t, so I make them without. Otherwise I would eat them all, LOL! The edges are the best part so I may have to get one of those pans. Thanks for all you do Pat. I am starting the Brownie block this morning!!
I’m not a dark chocolate person, but I do like brownies. So when I make brownies, I use milk chocolate brownie mix. And definitely like walnuts in brownies
Wow brownies they are delicious…. Maybe today during the blizzard here in Minnesota I should turn on the oven and make some. Thank you for all you do for us. Hugs Kathy
