Ever find yourself needing to make a dessert for a special occasion? No easy pre-packaged mix in your pantry and no time to run to the store?
This recipe could quite easily step in to save you – most people have these ingredients readily at hand.
These brownies are my mother’s favorite and remind me of hot summer evenings when we snacked on these cakey bars to the sound of crickets chirping outside and the fans swirling warm air inside.
These brownies are made with Hershey’s syrup , so they are milk-chocolate flavored and could almost past for a Texas sheet cake! They are very sweet and so easy you can have them made and ready to serve within an hour.

My grandma used to make a molasses sheet cake that had the best chocolate frosting. Her recipe book got misplaced after she died. I’ve been trying to recreate ever since.
Not that these brownies are molasses cake, but they sure remind me of that cake. I’ll have to try the recipe out!
