Notes

This was my grandmother, Kate Perry’s, brownie mix. She lived in Balsam, NC, and I would take the bus from Knoxville, TN, up to visit her for a week or two every summer as a kid. These brownies were always waiting for me when I got there! I don’t know if they are as great as I remember, or whether it was the long ride, and the anticipation of them, but they were really special! Whip up a batch for your kids, or grandkids, and ask them how they are.
