Want to make homemade brownies SO GOOD they don’t need any added chocolate chunks? These brownies are fudgy, flavorful and hold their own against other over-the-top desserts. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a warm brownie.

I always make a festive pan of homemade brownies for teachers at Christmas time. It’s easy, cheap, and everyone loves brownies!
Homemade Brownies From Amanda
This recipe was given to me by my oldest sister, Amanda. She is so loving, sweet, and a spiritual giant. And she has the kindest soul. There were 6 girls in my family and Amanda was really into health and fitness. I have a lot of memories of doing workout videos together in pajamas.
We also all loved to bake treats 🙂 Not the best combo if you’re looking for certain results, I realize now, but we can recognize a good recipe when we see one!

When she emailed me the recipe, she said chocolate chips and frosting don’t do it justice.
And our mom said “Don’t mess with perfection!”
It is totally true! These homemade brownies really can stand on their own two feet! I added chocolate chips to this Christmas batch because it was a present but my kids ate some too and they all told me they preferred them without the chocolate chips.
Oh well! Their teachers just had to suffer through eating that extra chocolate.
