Great recipe! Simple, easy, FAST, and the perfect mix between cake-y and fudge-y. Not too rich, not too sweet (even for my Indian fiance, who is very sensitive to these American overly-sweet desserts). I used the 1/2c flour, 1/4tsp baking powder, 1/4tsp salt mixutre instead of the self-rising flour (as another reviewer suggested). Fantastic- this is the recipe I will be using from now on.

This recipe is just like its name 'absolutely best brownies'. It's so simple and so easy to make. During Christmas season, I have baked six batches of brownies with this recipe and the consistency of the result is always good...so tasty and so moist. My husband is very picky about food, but he loved these brownies I made and gave it A+++. For your information that I use all purpose flour for this recipe and normally bake it for 28 minutes even if I double the recipe. Thank you for sharing your perfect brownies recipe.

These are excellent. I used wholewheat self raising flour as that was all I had in the pantry and it worked great. YUM !!

They had nice flavor, but they became rather dry and crumbly the next day.

This brownies recipe never fails! In fact, this is the only brownies which the family gobble up like mad. I've tried other nuts in it but personally I like the walnuts.

This is the first time I have made brownies from scratch. Wow was it easy. I just made them and my 11yr old came in and said these are great mom! I snarfed that down is there more? She is taking a quad batch to school tomorrow as a treat after a pizza party. Thanks for the recipe!

I have been looking for this cocoa brownie recipe for a long time-I used to make these from a recipe on the can, but havent found one since. My friend with 3 children wanted a good recipe that's easy like this, and she started making them for her kids.The recipe i had used regular flour, so i was so excited to make these (i dont use self-rising)i forgot to add baking powder til i put them in the pan--i added it anyway and stirred in the pan.So,that was my fault,but i'm sure they'll come out great-i just peeked in the oven & they look good!

Used all purpose flour with some baking powder. Also left out the walnuts because the kids don't like nuts. I was expecting a lot more out of these and didn't think they were that fantastic. They were dry and I thought they could have used more chocolate flavor. I am giving them a four because my husband liked them.

I made it both ways, I did not have self rising flour but used the cheating way of using 1 cup of flour with 1/2 tsp of baking powder + 1/2 tsp of Salt.(I doubled the recipe to fill 13X9 pan) It was better/softer/moister with the baking powder and salt. Good both ways as well!

My son is allergic to chocolate so I was looking for a brownie recipe with cocoa in it. Followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. My 2 and 4 year old now think it is the best food ever. Thanks for the recipe.

These brownies were wonderful. They were the perfect balance between cake-like brownies and chewy brownies, and they had a wonderful flavour. I omitted the walnuts, but I think they would be equally good with them.

Absolutely delicious!!!I doubled this on two different occasions now, and was VERY happy each time. The first time I didn't include nuts, the second time I included sliced almonds, chocolate frosting and caramel. Its VERY rich that way, probably too much so for most, but absolutely heavenly! But, just by themselves these are gorgeous brownies by far. My boyfriend couldn't stop raving about them both times! I have stocked my shelves with ingredients, haha!
