Party Brownies

Yes, That’s What I Said. Party Brownies!

My sister Kristin has been making these fudgy, sprinkly, crowd-favorite brownies all summer, and I’ve sent her 100 texts to get all the info on this recipe over the last few weeks because I am obsessed with these babies.

Kids love them, adults love them, they’re easy, they’re fun, and they disappear alarmingly fast. They’re PARTY BROWNIES!

The base: a box of brownie mix. I don’t feel bad about this in the slightest. It makes these perfect “party brownies” because you can throw them together at a moment’s notice with minimal effort.

The top layer: an old-fashioned-style chocolate fudge frosting. The kind with the dry, crackly exterior, the kind my mom puts on my dad’s birthday cake every year, the kind that everybody’s grandma has a recipe for somewhere in an old stained church cookbook. It’s so good and it’s the exact top layer I never knew my brownies needed.

I call these party brownies because there is an event to bring them to nearly every weekend.

A pool party at my parents’ house, Bjork’s extended family reunion, an impromptu hangout with friends – the answer to all scenarios is a pan of Party Brownies. ♡
