“I got this recipe from a Southern Living cookbook when I was a teenager. It was called Virginia Brownies and is super easy to make. When I changed the frosting and made it out of powdered sugar my co-workers dubbed them Treadmill Worthy Brownies. Great with either frosting – buttercream or fudge.” – Gail
