Old-Fashioned Brownies

We found that these are pretty crumbly if you overcook them... However, they tasted great, and if you top them with ice cream, they're perfect.

Serves: 2 dozen bars

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup Florida crystals
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (we used walnuts)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In large mixing bowl, cream butter, Florida crystals and honey together. Add all the other ingredients except the flour and nuts, and mix well. Add flour and beat until smooth. Stir in nuts.

Spread into a greased 9 by 13" pan. I doubled the recipe so I could use my favorite Pampered Chef bar pan.


Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

If you are using these for ice cream sundaes, try warming the brownies before serving. Enjoy!

These look yummy for my tummy!!! =) So the next time you come up you can bring the brownies and we will supply the ice cream and home-made hot fudge sauce.

Hint: As I've said before, step back when you take the pic and zoom up. =)
