Lunchroom Ladies Brownies Recipe/At Home with Mimi And Kiki

These brownies are so yummy! My brother (who is not a huge sweets eater) ate four at my sons birthday party. The icing is optional, the brownies can stand on their own. I would recommend you try them both ways and let me know which way you like it best! Lunchroom Ladies Brownies Recipe/At Home with Mimi And Kiki
