This was just fair. It wasn't brownie-like at all; just like thin cake. We wanted to make brownie fudge sundaes but didn't have the ingredients for scratch brownies or a mix. I used a chocolate cake mix instead of the german chocolate that was called for. The kids liked them. My husband and I thought they were just passable. I won't make them again.

Very, very good! I made two changes to the recipe: I added 1/4 cup of milk, and about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. I baked them for 25 minutes and they were perfect - moist and chewy in the middle with a slight crunch at the edges. Definitely something I'll do again!

I made this recipe using a super moist yellow cake mix and chocolate chips in place of nuts. A definite keeper.

After reading other comments, I added 1 cup sour cream and after sreading the mix in the pan I pressed 1/2 cup choc chips into the top of the batter. cooked 25 min and were perfect. Don't expect a real dense bar, but very good with or without the traditional coconut-pecan frosting.

I tried this recipe to send to my daughter's class at school after discovering that she had used the last box of brownie mix form the pantry. I was not pleased and did not want to send them to the school. They were quite dry and didn't have the "brownie taste". I ended up buying store made brownies to take to her class. Next time I will run out for brownie mix or try one of the from scratch recipes.

This seems to be missing an ingredient. VERY DRY.

These were fast but powdery instead of moist. I will stick to my from scratch recipe instead.

I would definitely not call these brownies. This was more like a very thin chocolate cake without frosting. Not very good and plain.

This recipe was SO easy to follow and turned out great! I handed the kids the recipe and walked out of the kitchen. We are eating the brownies now and really enjoying them!

This was foolproof, as described, but not very tasty. In a pinch I'd consider using it again. I used Betty Crocker Super Moist Devil's Food mix.

Although they took 25 minutes to bake, this was a great recipe for tasty but not too sweet brownies that can be put together quickly with minimal ingredients.

These were VERY good brownies! My 11 yo daughter made them with about 3 minutes of prep time. We did bake them in a smaller pan than recommended - a 7 x 10 or so, and they took about 27 minutes to bake. My daughter used 1 cup chocolate chips instead of the 1/2 cup nuts - they tasted just like "boxed" brownies! (We used a deep chocolate cake mix) A great snack in a pinch!

The first batch I made was eaten very quickly. You can use any kind of chocolate cake mix. They are moist and good. My kids liked them. It is easy and handy if you don't have a brownie mix at home. So, they do not suck!

This recipe sucks. They take longer to cook than the recipe says. By the time the middle is done, the sides are dark.Don't waste your time with this one.Buy a packaged mix. You'd be better off. YUCK!!!!!!

Yuck! My fiance and I did not like these. I guess we aren't German chocolate fans. I used this recipe to use up a Duncan Hines German Chocolate Cake mix. It took about 25 minutes for the brownies to cook. I will not be making these again and will stick to the brownie mix for now.

This is a very easy recipe to make. I thought that these brownies tasted good because they have that light, bittersweet chocolate flavor instead of the very sweet fudgey chocolate flavor. My boyfriend who is not a chocoholic really liked them
