These brownie’s take a little bit longer than a box mix but being able to eat a pan full of Roselyn Brownies at home is so worth the effort. And your friends and neighbors will be begging you to make them!
Roselyn’s was a bakery here in Indiana that I loved, although in all honesty I’ve never met a bakery I didn’t love! But their brownies…….well I wouldn’t mind if heaven’s streets were paved in these and not gold!
It’s the combinations of a fudgy yet fully baked brownie, the thick chocolate icing and the pièce de ré·sis·tance, I think, is the sugar coated bottom!
That’s right, not only are these super delicious chocolate fudgy brownies then iced with a creamy chocolaty icing but then you coat the bottoms (and little up the sides if your smart) in sugar!!!!
This is not a brownie for the faint of heart! Oddly I am not a over the top chocolate lover but these brownies could be my gateway.
Want to know my ultimate snack……..these brownies and a cold beer! I’m not even kidding, it’s the ultimate combination!

This recipe calls for sunflower oil – that’s what I use most of the time, I have used regular vegetable oil and the brownies are fine! So don’t panic if you don’t have it but everything else!!

Are these the kind that crackle on the top? Dense but cake like?
YES – cake like when you touch them but almost fudge like when you eat them!
