Kelly's Mom's Brownies

From the kitchen of Kelly's mom

We got this recipe from Kelly - a teacher that was one of Aunt Leonda's roommates.  It was our favorite brownie recipe.  When Abe got older and antsier, he would make these brownies every Sunday, since he couldn't go outside and play.  I recently was contacted by a friend from Yuma whose family we had invited over for dinner shortly after they moved to town.  We served these brownies for dessert, and she enjoyed them so much that my mom gave her the recipe card.  It has turned into one of their family favorites, as well.  In this day and age of brownie mixes, I hope you will take the time to try this super easy and super YUMMY brownie recipe!
