My Kid’s Favorite Brownies!
So this homemade brownie recipe is a family classic…one of those things that my mom made for me growing up. It’s a little different than a classic fudgy brownie, but just as delicious. In fact, the reason that they’re my kid’d favorite it that they have a layer of pourable chocolate frosting on top that melts right into the brownie, while leaving a crusty icing coating. It’s a lot like the type of frosting you pour onto a Texas Sheet Cake, or my Sunday Chocolate Cake.

And then spread that all over the top while the brownies are still warm.This makes some of the frosting melt right into the top of the brownies. YES!
How To Store Brownies:
I have always found that brownies get more moist the longer they sit uncut. I love making them the day ahead covering them airtight in the pan I baked them in and then cutting right before I’m ready to serve. They will be great stored airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days.If they are cut, store them airtight at room temperature as well. Brownies tend to dry out a little if they’re stored pre-cut, but I know this is sometimes impossible to avoid. Wrapping them individually in plastic wrap is the perfect way to avoid pre-cut brownies from drying out, but you definitely don’t have to do this. Just make sure they’re as airtight as possible.You can absolutely freeze these as well airtight for up to 30 days for best freshness. Thaw them at room temperature!
