Ultimate Chocolate Brownie

Ultimate Chocolate Brownie

Years ago I had a series called Cooking Through My Collection. A few times a month I would share a recipe from a cookbook that I loved or a recipe from a random cookbook from my cookbook collection.

Yes, I have a cookbook collection…. Not only do I love books, I also love cookbooks. Last time I counted I had over one hundred cookbooks.

I loved this series because it was a way for me to share some of my favorite cookbooks and recipes with you. It also forced me to use my cookbooks more. Which is always a good thing.

It has been a long time since I shared a Cooking Through My Collection recipe, but when my daughter made me a Mother’s Day dessert from a Hershey’s cookbook that we have, I knew that I needed to share the recipe with you. They were so good!

Hershey's Ultimate Chocolate Brownies

The recipe came from the cookbook Hershey’s Best Loved Recipes. It is an older cookbook, but we have tried several recipes from it over the years and they always turn out. In fact, a few of them have become favorites. I am pretty sure that this brownie recipe is going to be added to the favorites list.

What makes these brownies a little different is the frosting. Frosting always takes a basic brownie and makes it better.

My daughter made these gluten free by using Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free blend and they turned out great. You couldn’t tell that they were gluten free.
