The most chocolatey, fudgy and moist brownies ever! Just like the ones they served for school lunch dessert, from Life in the Lofthouse site. Just as a note, be sure not to over bake as you want them to remain moist and chewy. Next time I'm adding walnuts to them just for something special

Tips:

Use the right pan: A 9x13 inch baking pan is ideal for these brownies. If you use a smaller pan, the brownies will be thicker and may not cook evenly.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no more streaks of flour.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These lunch lady brownies are a classic for a reason. They are fudgy, chocolatey, and delicious. They are perfect for a quick and easy dessert or snack. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your brownies turn out perfect every time.
