YUMMMMM "O".. A MILLION TIMES OVER!!!! thank u for posting this wonderful recipe. It so hard to find the best brownie recipe. My recipe is so similar except it has only 1/4 c. cocoa and 2 cups sugar. so the extra addition is what completed my brownie recipe. I have been trying so many things to make my recipe fudgeier and chewy and ur recipe helped thank u. I make mine in a large sauce pan and I also wisk the eggs seperatly in a bowl so I dont add too mush air into the batter. then I fold gently. Remember a good brownie always has at least 4 eggs and no baking powder and is dense. so the less mixing u do to it the better the results. I also did half brown sugar and half white.thanx brooke they truely keep to their name. and to anyone who is looking for the best brownie recipe........ look no longer ... this is it.

These were very delicious! I made them just as the recipe called for. I did have to bake them much longer than called for. At the time suggested in the recipe they were still very gooey in the middle. The top did get hard and crunchy but the inside was chewy and fudgey. YUMM!

Great brownie recipe! They turned out very rich, moist & chewy! Followed the recipe exactly, had to bake them a little longer than 40 minutes, but they turned out perfect!

I love these brownies! I've made them exactly as written and with modifications (1/2 cup whole wheat, 2 cups sugar with 1 bring brown sugar, 1/8 baking powder, 1/8 baking soda) and they both turned out great. The original recipe is sweet but wonderfully fudge-y. Try it as written first and then customize it.

I normally don't like homemade brownies, but I followed this recipe as is, and they turned out great. Very easy to make, and ingredients are all things I already had laying around. Make sure you bake them for the full 40 minutes, otherwise, they will be too chewy, especially if you like them a little crispy on the outside edges.

These brownies "seduced" me! The BEST brownie I have ever had. Perfect brownie texture, not dry at all and just gooey enough. Packs an awesome chocolate punch (I used dutch processed cocoa)! After reading other reviews I subbed 1 c of brown sugar (with 1 1/2 c white sugar) and I added 1 t baking powder and 1/2 t baking soda to the flour mixture. These come together fairly fast and easy. I will NEVER make a box mix again!

best brownies EVER!!!! they taste like and have the same consistency of GHIRARDELLI brownies! yum!! thick but chewy and fudgy. mmmm. I filled about half of my 1 cup measure with both semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips (large, for chocolate chunks in brownies) and filled the rest of it with mini semi-sweet chips which created fudginess. Also, the only change i made was to add 1/8 tsp EACH baking soda AND powder so it would rise a bit. PERFECT!

I went along with other suggestions and used half brown sugar, half white. I also cooked them for 25 minutes. These brownies tasted good but were extremely dry (crumbled when we cut them). My son suggested using a 9x9 instead of the 13x9 so we will try it that way next time.

I have made these twice, the first time I used all white sugar, the second 1/2 brown and 1/2 white. My husband liked the 1/2 and 1/2 better, the flavor was a bit richer. Either way these are the chewiest most decadent brownies ever, and the top is fantastic!

This was good. I used mini choc chips since I didn't have the reguar size. I think I overcooked it, which affected the texture a bit. They were good, but not super special.

If I could give 10 stars, I would give them all to these brownies! These are the best brownies I've ever eaten. They are fudgy, moist, dense and wonderful. I used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar as many others suggested. I also used a 9x13 pan and they still came out very thick. Thanks for the great recipe.

DA BOMB!! These quench any sweet tooth ... plus cause some major cavities! Made as written and baked for 40 minutes in 13x9 pan. At first I thought they were undercooked, but after cooling they were fudgey. These are twice a good a day later.

wow, I have been searching for a brownie recipe that was just chocolate cake in disguise and WOW, this is so good. I found mine to be too thin since I halved this and baked it in a 9 inch pan. It was so awesome though, wished didn't halve it.
