Can i freeze home made brownies?

jaxxy00 · 26 February 2006 at 6:03PM

I am making some batches of brownies, as i need to use up some weetabix and was wondering if i can freeze some. If so how do i do it? How long can they be frozen for and how long to thaw out etc? Also i know they say about brownies are best eaten the next day so would i freeze them the next day?
Thanks

Hi,

You can freeze Brownies, I'd advise using them within a month really though, and as for defrosting, a couple of hours - if they are individually seperated, or longer if not. I would wait a day too, and then freeze them.

PS - whats with the weetabix???? - whats your recipe?

Thanks frugal fox. Well ive just got out 12 which were cooling and there now sits just 5!! They dont even get chance to get cold let alone left until the next day. Oh well i suppose i would moan if they got wasted.

Im not sure how they are normally made but my recipe comes from a lady who was doing the refreshments at a community centre jumble sale me and my sister went to one year. We had a cuppa and one of the brownies and they were really yummy so we asked were they got them from and the lady said shed made them and gave us the recipe. I wrote it on a scrappy bit of paper that i still have and use now.

In a bowl put
4 crushed weetabix
4oz caster sugar
4oz self raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
pkt chocolate drops (i use a 25p 100g tescos own milk chocolate chopped up)

mix this altogether

then take 4oz of melted marg and stir this into the mixture along with an egg

mix well and put in a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes at electric 180.

I put this mix into a square tin which measures 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. I suppose you could use anything a similar size it would just turn out a bit more or less deeper. I also line the tray with greaseproof paper to save any sticking. Once out the oven let it stand for about 5 minutes then turn out the tray and cut into squares.

Enjoy!!! if you get chance before everyone else takes them.

This recipe sounds gorgeous! And I've got all the bits in my cupboard. Just a shame that I'm giving up chocolate for lent. I'll keep the recipe though until after Easter!

So - you won't be needing to freeze them then!!

The recipe sounds fab. I've never made them using weetabix - but will certainly give this a try!!!

Thanks for posting it.

I've got frozen brownies in my freezer at the moment. I usually use Delia's recipe. They are lovely served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Mine are in the oven right now

And I've copied the recipe to a Word document so I've always got it on hand.
