These are baking in my oven as I type this. I don't need to taste them to know I WON'T be making these again. I make brownies from scratch all the time, from a variety of different recipes. I know what I'm doing. This recipe is a disaster. The directions need to be changed to instruct people to shift together the dry ingredients first and set aside. Otherwise, the butter cools while preparing this, and batter becomes impossible to mix. Mine was a brick. The butter amount for a 9x13 pan is correct, but the sugar and cocoa is too much, and the flour not enough. Sorry, but this is a bad recipe. ETA: Now that my brownies are cooked, I can give my statement on taste. These are chocolaty and chewy, but taste EXACTLY like a store-bought mix I had as a kid.

The recipe makes a very good dense brownie. My son loved them in his lunch all week!

These are just as described, RICH, dark and chocolatey!!! If you don't want a rich brownie, add less sugar or omit the chocolate chips. I made half a recipe in a8x8 pan for 35 min, and got very thick fudgy brownies. bake longer if you want a little chewier. I loved them!!!

Far too sweet and rich for my family. Even my 11- and 7-year-old kids declined seconds. Too bad! They smelled so good baking. Maybe I'll try again with less sugar and margarine in place of butter.

Baked for 34 minutes, and they came out a little dry. Will test them a bit earlier next time. Absolutely decadent and awesome chocolate flavor, though! I couldn't stop eating the edges as I was cutting them to bring in to work!

These came out amazing! Made them in a 13x9 pan and I was shocked at how thick they were without containing baking soda! These are the perfect chewy, fudgy brownie. I followed the recipe exactly, except, (oops) I forgot the vanilla extract. Also, my oven went crazy during the cooking and completely lost temperature! Despite all of this they still came out delicious!

Wow! I must confess... I am one of those people who reads a recipe and without even trying it the way it was created makes substitutions. I RESISTED THE URGE and FOLLOWED THIS ONE to the T with the one exception that I used homemade infused vanilla sugar instead of plain granulated. (I do this with nearly all my sweet baked goods and it does not change the chemistry at all.) Because of the intense chocolate flavor you may want to serve these with some softly whipped cream. Simply amazing!

I made this recipe AS IS and they turned out perfect and the best 'traditional' brownie EVER. I ate one a couple hours after they were made they were pretty fudgy but after they sat a whole day on a plate with saran wrap they are even better! Thanks!

Great brownie...followed others suggestion of spliting the sugar with some brown sugar. I did put them in my 9x13 pyrex and baked them about 30 minutes and they were perfect. My mother in law who normally passes on dessert had 2 pieces herself! Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

I loveee these brownies!!! I always add a teaspoon of coffee to the batter to try to be more "gourmet". Yum. I think they taste best cold from the fridge.

This recipe is amazing. I am known for my brownies, and had been looking for a new recipe to try. These are fantastic. I took the suggestion of another reviewer, and added 1/2 tsp of baking soda to give them some lift and the thin shell on top. They are absolutely delicious!

I'm extremely picky about brownies and I have tried tons of recipes and none of them ever hit the spot - til now! They were perfect! Soft and moist and thick but not cake-like. Definitely keeping this as my favorite brownie recipe! I'm actually about to ship some to a friend that lives a couple states away so she can have this decadent experience. LOVE IT. TYSM.

Baked these for the husband's bday (he doesn't eat cake). They went over well. This was my first attempt at homemade brownies and thanks to this recipe I was successful. I hope you are a chocolate lover because these are really chocolaty. Will definitely bake these again.
