Virginia Brownies image

If you like a fudgy brownie this is the one for you! The original recipe came from an old Southern Living book series that my Mom has. My baby brother would make this recipe and set up a brownie stand in the summer in leiu of the usual lemonade stand! We made this so much as kids the page it is printed on has fallen out of the book... I use melted butter in place of the shortening. This is good with or without the glaze.

I'm not sure if I have all the ingredients to make these brownies. I'll have to check my pantry.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these brownies turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the sugar.

These brownies were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out very well. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I added some chopped walnuts to these brownies and they were delicious. I think next time I'll try adding some chocolate chips.

I'm not a big fan of cream cheese frosting, so I made these brownies without it. They were still very good!

I was looking for a brownie recipe that was a little different than the usual, and these Virginia Brownies fit the bill. They were a bit more cakey than I expected, but still very delicious.
