Scrumptious! My kids thought I cheated and used a box mix (perish the thought). I just threw all the ingredients together in a bowl and mixed well with a wooden spoon until smooth. Comes out perfect every time!

These are Best Brownies!!! No fuss in making them, like others suggested I didn't use a mixer and the result was a moist, soft and rich brownie texture. I use a bag of milk chocolate chips for the frosting, just sprinkle them on when the brownies were still warm and spread. I give this recipe - two thumbs way up!!!!

I've made these brownies twice now, the first time I made them I followed the instructions. I'm not a big dark chocolate fan and using the amount of cocoa called for made them really rich. The texture was good though and my husband still loved them. They had that slightly crumbly top like the store bought ones. The second time I made them, I cut back the cocoa to make them not so sweet and they turned out great. Before I baked them I also melted a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter and drizzled it on top, that really added some yumminess to them. I took them to a meeting at church and everyone loved them. I will continue to use this recipe because my husband loves brownies and I don't always have boxed ones at home and these are easy to make with stuff I already have on hand. I also didn't use the frosting recipe either time and they were plenty sweet enough.

I thought these brownies were very moist and brownie like! I did sub half the butter for applesauce and they still came out very moist! I also halfed the recipe and put them in a little pyrex bowl to make them extra thick:) I am a brownie freak and have tried MANY brownie recipes...THIS IS THE ONE!! So if you are looking for a great moist chocolate brownie look no further! And I even made them with applesauce! The frosting is good but def. not needed just some ice cream.

Doubled these in an 11x17, and let them sit before we cut them. They were perfect without the icing. If you wanted a hard, chewy brownie, overcook them or use an edge pan. If you're like us and wanted a good chewy fudgy brownie, follow the directions and they'll be perfect.

These were not exactly what I was looking for. A little too soft and what I mean is I like a dense brownie with a good bite to it and these were very sugary and dissolved in your mouth.

My husband and I were craving brownies and I looked for something easy with ingredients I had on hand and this qualified. Really, really good. Don't neglect the frosting...the honey sounded kind of wierd, but turned out to be delish. A tip: MELT the butter first and then mix teh frosting ingredients together.

The brownies were awesome! I mixed by hand so they wouldn't be too cakey. The frosting didn't say to heat it on the stove but when I mixed the ingredients together it was not frosting like at all. When I tried on the stove it looked more like frosting but it got to hard for me, I like brownie frosting to be softer.

Just an update: after the designated cooking time was up, I turned off the oven and left them in there for about 5 mins to set before taking them out... this solved the gooey middle and "is it ready or not yet" dilemma.

My daughter loved the batter, and while they were cooking, the smell was amazing. I just took them out of the oven, and unfortunately, the do seem to be more of a cakey consistency, while we prefer the dense, fudgey type with the crackly top. I even took the suggestions of another reviewer, but it looks like I still overmixed it (btw, I am not a brownie virgin, so I have made scratch brownies before with our preferred consistency. Based on taste alone, I'd have to give 2.5 stars

I have made this too many times to count. They come out perfect every time! I havent tried the frosting though...brownies never last long enough to get frosted. I melted the butter in the microwave to save stovetop time and came out with the same results. I've also tried it with mini-chocolate chips, PB chips, chopped nuts, and mini marshmellows. You can mix in anything!

I have made these six or so times now and they are always great. I always double the recipe and make it in a 9x13 pan. I never make the frosting. Super fast and easy one-pot brownies that always get compliments.

These brownies came out very nicely -- spongy and light, if that's what you're into. Even though I MUCH prefer a dense, chewy fudge brownie, I think I'll make these again. Thanks for the recipe! (By the way, I did not make the frosting.)
