Passed down recipes are always the best. Anyone that grew up around my wife is familiar with these brownies – known simply as “Elisabeth’s mom’s brownies”. This original recipe comes from her great aunt but has been modified here. This recent batch of brownies was prepared for our housewarming party and may have been the best batch yet. To be honest, we didn’t actually put peanut butter or walnuts in the brownies in case of any nut allergies. And don’t let their appearance fool you, these brownies taste better than they look; one time a friend stepped in a batch of these, thought he had stepped in dog poop and as he was scraping it off, was surprised that it didn’t smell. Ignore the purple glow in the picture – heavenly as these brownies are, it’s not a halo from heaven – it’s just the light from my TV.
