Milk Chocolate Brownies

Submitted by PaulO in MA

"Best I ever had. Not too gooey and overly "chocolatey." My wife omitted the coconot ad the nuts. Bought the mentioned old cookbook at a library book sale. I highly recommend the book. Great recipes in it. From "Country Fair Cookbook. Every recipe a Blue Ribbon Winner." By the Food Editors of Farm Journal. Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1975. That the recipe states in the book: "No need to frost these brownies. The topping is baked on.""

Although I pretty much made these as given, I did omit the nuts, simply because I took it to share at one of the weekly meetings we attend, & several people there have an allergy! Made these instead of my own outrageously gooy & rich brownies, but I must admit that yours got all kinds of raves & 'oh, yeahs'! Definitely a winner recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
