Haven't tried these because of the amount of sugar in them, but will try with Splenda, or a combination of Splenda and sugar. Remember to adjust cooking time if using Splenda. Time does not include cooling time.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of your brownies. Choose a chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Do not overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Granny's Brownies are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your brownies turn out perfect every time. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give Granny's Brownies a try!
