Might as well keep going with the ice cream accompaniments, right? I can't help it. It's too hot to talk about making bread or roasting something for hours.
I actually worked for two Baskin - Robbins establishments as a young woman. One of my favorite sundaes is a cross between a Banana Royale and a Brownie sundae. It involves a sliced banana, a brownie, ice cream, fudge, and whipped cream. Of course, they only sell one or the other -- not both (but they should). So let me help you try it out.
I have a recipe for Double Chocolate Walnut brownies listed. This however is a little bit simpler and doesn't require as many extras. In short, it is a basic brownie recipe. You can throw in a half a cup of nuts if you like but it doesn't need them. Which makes it good for people with allergies or who dislike nuts.
I think I originally got it over a decade ago from the back of a can of cocoa. They just used to put the best recipes on the backs of cans. Wonder why they stopped? Seems like all the ones now start with a bunch of convenience foods and aren't all that great. Oh well.
Fudgy Brownies
1/2 cup shortening or butter/margarine
1/2 cup cocoa
