Texas Brownies

Submitted by: Marsha Perry of Sulphur Springs, Texas

Marsha says: "This recipe was one that my husband's granny gave me years ago. I had to experiment with the measurements because she used a handful of this or a spoonful of that. But the final recipe passed my husband's inspection! He said it was just like he had as a kid. These are really great! I hope your readers will enjoy them."

I'm sure they will, Marsha.  Thanks for sharing!
