Grandma Ruth’s Brownies

Ruth Coon

 

Grandpa Coon said Ruthie used to make these brownies all the time while she was in her prime. She would make them for her choirs and neighbors all the time and was well known by them. We still think of her today whenever we bite into one of her special brownies.
