LUNCH LADY BROWNIE RECIPE
Not all aspects of elementary school cafeteria lunch were unappetizing. In fact, these delicious lunch lady brownies hold a vivid place in many childrens’ memories.
This classic recipe is a fudgy brownie made with melted butter and super simple ingredients.
The frosting is poured on warm brownies so that it kind of melts into them to make moist brownies. Because they’re on the gooey side, it’s best to let them sit at room temperature so they kind of set up.
CAN I DOUBLE THIS RECIPE?
Yes. Double all of the ingredients and bake in a 9X13 inch baking pan.
