These were okay in a pinch, but I probably wouldn't make them again. There are far better brownie recipes out there.

Hey , this r the best brownies I've ever made from scratch. I had no coco or chocolate squares, for the frosting. I had peanut butter & used that instead. Boy !!! Did they come out so good. This Fri. I'm going too make these for the school bake sale. Going to make 2 pans of brownies , 2 pies, lemon-poppies seed cake & each zucchinis,carrot, pumpkin bread . Can't leave out some cookies, which r going too be Cardamon sugar cookies.That' will round out this bake sale I think.

I made these brownies today and they were so easy and tasted great! you can substitute cocoa powder for the unsweetened chocolate if you dont have any. use 3T cocoa powder + 1T butter for each ounce of unsweetened chocolate needed. works perfectly.

I love making brownies and am always searching for good recipes. After making this recipe, my family said, "Sop looking! This is the best!" It is so easy! I double the recipe and put it in one of those "all edges" brownie pans for 27 minutes. I have also doubled for a 9x13, for 25 minutes. Whatever you do, don't overcook! My son swears they are better the next day.

OMG!! These were the best brownies I have ever tasted! They were also very easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, but just added 1 cup of walnuts to the brownie mixture right before I poured it into the pan to bake. This recipe can also be doubled which I recommend because they will be gone in a flash!.
