Southern 4-Ingredient Lunch Lady Brownies – Friday After-School Favorite
My kids beg for these every Friday after school. They taste just like the famous cafeteria brownies: fudgy chocolate squares under a thick, glossy chocolate frosting. The shortcut is a box of fudge cake mix, so they come together with only four main ingredients.
Why You Will Love Them
- Nostalgic school-cafeteria flavor.
- Fudgy with a thick frosting.
- Easy – cake mix does the work.
