Southern 4-Ingredient Lunch Lady Brownies

Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour so the frosting can set into its signature soft, fudge-like finish before slicing into neat squares.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Cafeteria Cut

  • Chill for Clean Lines: Pop the pan into the refrigerator for 20 minutes right before cutting. Wipe the knife clean with a hot towel between slices for razor-sharp edges.

  • Warm Serving Secret: Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed alongside a cold glass of milk for the full school-lunch nostalgia experience
