Bakery Brownies at Home from Farmwife Feeds are a fudgy big batch recipe with chocolate icing and sugar coated bottoms. #brownies #bakery #recipe #chocolate

This is the recipe from an Indiana bakery called Roselyn’s, one of my favorite places as a child. The recipe is directly out of their cookbook and I shared it earlier, Roselyn Brownies At Home. I have since condensed or tweaked, but have not strayed from the original to make it easier to read and make.

I love these brownies! And dare I admit I’m not a huge chocoholic, pretty sure it’s the final dip in sugar that sends them way over the top for me.

These bakery style brownies are the best homemade brownies you will ever make - Roselyn Bakery Brownies at your fingertips!

Once the brownies are cooled, iced, and cut, the true magic happens. Place about a cup of sugar in a flat dish and dip the bottom of each brownie into the granulated sugar. This sets these brownies apart from all other brownies, and it’s how most bakeries serve their brownies. It’s amazing!

These definitely take longer than a box mix but so worth it. A treat you won’t regret taking the time to make.

This also makes a huge batch, so it’s brownies for a crowd or will keep you in snacks for days!

Tips, Tricks, Questions And Comments

Can I add mix-ins to my brownies? What works best?

Absolutely! Mix-ins can add texture and flavor to your brownies. Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or chunks of chocolate bars are popular choices. You can also experiment with swirls of caramel or peanut butter, or even add a dash of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. The key is to add these mix-ins just before baking and to fold them gently into the batter. Just note that these are a very dense rich, fudgy brownie alread and the texture will change with add-ins!

What’s the best way to cut brownies cleanly?

For clean, sharp cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean with a damp cloth between cuts. Chilling the brownies in the refrigerator before cutting can also help achieve neater squares. If you’re cutting brownies while they’re warm, using a plastic knife can be surprisingly effective and helps prevent sticking.

How do I know when my brownies are perfectly baked?

Brownies are done when the edges start to pull away slightly from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter). It’s better to err on the side of slightly underbaking to ensure fudginess. Let them cool completely in the pan on a rack to set properly before cutting.

Notes

To make simple syrup for this recipe bring 6 Tablespoons of water to a boil, add 6 Tablespoons of granulated sugar to boiling water and stir until sugar is dissolved.
I make 6 Tablespoons of simple syrup even though recipe calls for 5 Tablspoons to take into account evaporation, then measure out 5 Tablespoons for recipe.

    Made these exactly as directed. Came out great! Not your usual homemade cocoa brownies, They were different, and delicious! Definitely reminds me of brownies from a bakery. There is a typo in this recipe though. The brownie batter instructions, on number 3, It says “Add curb syrup and stir” It should say corn syrup instead. I obviously knew what it meant, But it should probably get corrected. lol.
