Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cut into squares while hot.
- Roll the hot brownies in confectioners sugar to coat.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure even baking, check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate cocoa instead of regular cocoa. If you're out of butter, you can substitute it with an equal amount of coconut oil for a slight twist. Don't forget to let the brownies cool slightly before rolling them in confectioners' sugar for better adherence.
Serving Suggestions
These sugar-coated brownies are delicious on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert. For a fun twist, serve alongside Buckeye Bonbon bites for a delightful treat platter. You can also sprinkle some sea salt on top for an extra flavor boost.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, microwave a square for about 10-15 seconds, or until just warm, to enjoy the fudgy texture again. For optimal flavor, consider pairing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of flour. For a gluten-free version, use almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture, so adjustments in baking time might be necessary.
What can I do if my brownies are too dry?
If your brownies turn out dry, this could be due to overbaking or using too much flour. To remedy this, try adding a splash of milk or melted chocolate to the batter next time to increase moisture. You can also serve dry brownies with a drizzle of chocolate sauce to enhance their flavor.
How can I make these brownies more chocolaty?
To amplify the chocolate flavor, you can add chocolate chips to the batter or increase the cocoa powder to 6 tablespoons. Another option is to fold in melted chocolate for an even richer taste. These adjustments will make the brownies extra indulgent!
