Henry's Fudgetastic Home School Brownies

Homeschooling means parents are looking for creative ways to help kids learn.  At our house baking has become a regular part of our curriculum.  And unlike math or social studies we all enjoy this activity. 

Henry's Fudgetastic Home School Brownies are a beloved family favorite because no one in this house likes a cakey brownies.  I edited the recipe to be early reader friendly.  Our baking is sessions are a collaborative effort with everyone pitching in.  Our son reads the directions and helps measure ingredients. Bigger kiddos can even manage the hand mixer. Talk about a home school activity that covers reading, math and fine motor skill development.  It is also messy but that is part of the fun.

This recipe is truly fudgey. The addition of brown sugar gives a great flavor that will have you eating more than one. The recipe tells you to let the brownies cool completely before serving. If you can do that I salute your willpower. Our family usually scarfs down half the pan while the brownies are warm, ooey, gooey and oh so good!
