This week, Tuesdays with Dorie goes old school and tackles the classic brownie. Anne of Anne Strawberry chose this delicious treat. I confess I have made it several times before and it was one of the first recipes that made me swear off boxed mixes for life.
These brownies are rich and fudgey and can be customized with nuts, m&m's, flaked coconut, crystallized ginger, or whatever your favorite mix-in might be. I made them with toasted chopped walnuts and alternated between snacking on them at room temperature with cold milk and frozen over ice cream. I know that some people like their brownies cakey and others prefer them with a more fudge-like consistency, but just like friends and music, I have room for a lot of different brownies in my heart. I photographed the brownies at three different sizes: 1- a kid-sized after kindergarten snack, 2- the size Dorie recommends to get her recommended number of servings from the recipe, or 3- the size I like to enjoy. And yes, after the photograph was eaten, I had to sample all three of them. Click here for the entire recipe and thanks to Anne Strawberry for a reason to eat brownies this week.

The only problem with a plate of brownies is that they never last long enough - no matter what size you cut them. Yours look delicious!
Yes, it is because of recipes like this that I haven't bought a brownie mix for years. Easy to make and delicious. Dorie has so many brownies and I like all of them!
Have a great day.
I love the picture. =) I have to admit, B gets a smaller brownie in her lunch than the one I put in mine.
Ha! Love your size chart. I'm going with #3 as the perfect serving! :)
I'm with you Mary - #3 is definitely the way to go! When I make a brownie sundae for Shane, I'll even use two #3 size brownies :)
I love the comments about friends, music, and brownies and feel the same way. Your brownies look awesome. Thanks for baking with me!
Team #3 here! I love these with walnuts - they just hit the spot.
All sizes would work, but I am a fan of #3! Looks delicious.
I love the photo! I think I must be cutting them closest to #3 because they have been disappearing very fast.
This is such a great recipe. I enjoyed it. And I love your line about music and friends....so true. I've got all the room in my heart and life for variety those two categories and brownies! :)
Cute sizing demonstration. Boy these look chocolatey!!
Boy, talk about a good brownie!! And I came THIS close to putting M&Ms in them. Cute plate.
