classic thick and fudgy brownies

If you had asked me a few days ago if I were ready for the holiday season to begin, I would have said a resounding NO. It all seems to be happening so fast. I swear a few weeks ago it was summer, and now BAM, holiday central.

But today, as I ran a few errands, I have to admit I was excited to see all of the holiday items lining the shelves. Let’s face it, the holidays are here whether we are ready or not, so we may as well embrace it, have a brownie or two, Β and move on.

This brownie recipe from American ClassicsΒ is my go-to for a classic, thick and fudgy brownie. Holiday entertaining can be overwhelming, even if you are not the host. No one likes to show up empty handed, and these brownies do not disappoint. They are almost as easy as the box to prepare, making them the perfect choice for busy holiday get-togethers. And who doesn’t love a fudgy brownie.

always a classic, chewy, fudgy chocolate brownies

Β These are VERY rich, so I prefer to cut them small, and when in doubt, under-bake. Over-baked chocolate can be bitter.
