As a kid my parents would take us to our Aunt and Uncle's farm. One of the favorite things I looked forward to was my Auntie's brownie dessert. There would be on each plate a LARGE homemade brownie, scoop of vanilla ice cream, homemade chocolate sauce drizzled over that and a single cherry to top it all off.For all the cooking and baking I have been successful at over the years, there are two things I CAN NOT seem to make... ONE is JELLO!!! (strange I know!) and the SECOND is brownies!
WELL NO MORE for the brownie troubles, because I have found myself a FOOLPROOF recipe!
Below is the recipe along with my Auntie's chocolate syrup recipe... This might be a good Valentine's dessert for any of you out there who want something to make...
Enjoy, Ali :)

I don't think I have ever made homemade brownies... I just always use a boxed mix (sad, but true). However, if this is truly a foolproof recipe, I may just have to branch out and give it a try!
After all, I have mastered Jell-O!
Go for it BrasherGirl... I too was a "brownies from a box" baker but these were truly foolproof! Yummy!!
