Jewish brownies??? Does anyone have a recipe for these?

Question

Hi,
So I just had a flashback to like 10 years ago when I lived w/ a Jewish family in Illinois. We went 2 a SuperBowl party @ the synagogue & I, of course, was not interested in football. So I ended up playing bingo w/ a bunch of like 90 yr old women.

Don't get me wrong, it was actually quite fun. I had a good time. I am just trying 2 paint u a picture here.

So, all the guys & some of the gals are in 1 room with a big screen tv watching the game & the rest of the gals (mostly old ones) r in the social hall playing bingo & having a great time. (I won a pill crusher!! Woot, woot!)

Anyhow, this old lady came along passing out treats & I took this chocolate something-or-other. It seemed like a cross between cake & brownies. It was so different than anything I had ever had b4.

I asked what it was & was told it was "Jewish Brownies". That is all I remember.

Does anyone have this recipe? I would love 2 try and make them!

Oh, I just love it when good memories come back!!!

Answer 2

Sorry. I only have a wonderful recipe for German chocolate brownies.

I suppose the Jewish variety are softies while the German ones are pretty hard and crusty.
