Traditional Newfoundland Brownies & Cream Cheese Icing
Hi and welcome to Bonita's Kitchen website, I'm so glad you stopped by. I guess you are looking for a delicious recipe for homemade brownies, will look no further.
These dark chocolate brownies with Cocoa cream cheese icing is so delicious and flavourful it's hard to have only one. The inside of this brownie are moist with a burst of chocolate flavour that coats the inside of your mouth.
If you love chocolate these brownies are for you and super easy to make, this recipe is for a small batch of brownies but you can always double or triple the recipe for more, and you can put less sugar if you like.
I love making these if I'm expecting last minute company because it's so quick to make. I can have everything made and by the time my company arrives and dinner is served it will take you a couple of minutes to spread the frosting over them.
Cut the brownies as big as you like them, plus what would be nice is on the side of the brownie a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. Anyway you serve them they will be delicious and remember to keep one or two for when you seat back at the end of your day with a glass of wine and your favourite book.
I'm going to share with you another recipe from my website you may enjoy making.

Hi 🙂
I went to Newfoundland last year, an exchange program of my school, and I ate some brownies when I was there. I just loved it! Since I’ve came home (Brazil) I tried to make brownies twice or three times, but it wasn’t the same taste, not even a little! Right now I’m trying again using your recipe, I hope my brownies will be as good as the ones I’ve tried last year, at least this time!! 🙂
Have a good day!

Hi again Bonita! Happy new year!
Well, the last time my brownies weren’t as good as I wanted them to. I left it for too much time in the stove. I’m trying again today 🙂
Made these today for my Family. Absolutely Delicious! Best Brownies I’ve ever tasted!
Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂

First off the brownies are good but it doesn’t make very much, the recipe could be doubled or even tripled. Next the icing recipe doesn’t tell you how much cocoa to use so I put in a 1/4 cup and it tasted good. There is a lot of icing and not much brownie but overall it’s pretty good.
Just wanted to say I gave this recipe 3 stars and it changed it to 5! Not very impressed.
Hi Suzie: Thank you again for your message, and I’m not sure why the stars changed to the incorrect number. I will forward your comment to my tech and see if that can be fixed. Bonita
