I made this out of the "TRIED and TRUE COOKIES" cookbook by allrecipes. After the fact, I went online and discovered how everyone else had made them in a 9 x 13 pan. This would have been helpful information to have included in the editing of the recipe for print. What a total mess in a 9 x 9 pan. Took an hour to bake. Disgustingly sweet. UGH.

the bestest in da world

Excellent! Definitely use a 9 x 13 - otherwise perfect. I did make my own butter pecan frosting from this website and it turned out great.

Just what I was looking for, a thick, moist brownie. Very sweet. My cooking time did take a little longer. Next time I think I'll leave off the chocolate frosting, doesn't need it.

I made these brownies for a meeting. I took everyone elses advice and baked in a 9 x 13 pan. I didn't add the chocolate chips or pecans on top, I added extra pecans in the batter and made my own homemade chocolate butter cream frosting. They were very moist, heavy and dense. Almost too much. Couldn't really taste the coconut pecan flavor in them. Might make them again.

Very good brownies! Instead of the canned stuff, I made the frosting from scratch using a recipe (one of the highest-rated ones) form this site. Uses real butter, etc. and is really not hard to make. I say go for the good stuff vs. the can! Also, I used a 9 X 13 and baked for 40 minutes. Perfectly done.

These tasted good, but I feel like you have to use a 9x13. They take forever to cook in a 9x9 pan.

What a hit! I was a bit skeptical about the over cooking, but I have made them twice now with in a week and both times have been wonderful! I just make sure to start watching them around 20-25 minutes. Also, I used a 13x9 pan instead of a 9x9. They seemed to work well. I have already passed this recipe on to 4 different people. Mmmmmm.....

Reading the reviews helped in making this dish. It turned out great!

I have made these brownies a dozen or so times. They always want more! I do bake mine in a 9X13 pan instead of a 9X9. They are just marvelous brownies and soooo easy!! Just a hint...you can use any brownie mix, cake frosting and the sour cream. Be creative! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

These were tasty brownies, although I did end up modifying them a little bit. I ended up just making them per the box's instructions since I didn't have any sour cream, but had to bake them much longer than the suggested 20-30 minutes since they were still quite liquidy after a half hour. I don't think I'll be dying for these any time soon, but they were a good way to use up a can of frosting.

I know I'm not the only one that had problems with this recipe - so that's good to know. It was delicious, don't get me wrong - but twenty minutes in a 9x9 pan was nowhere near enough time for these. They were great, we scooped it out of the pan, but as for brownies this recipe was severely lacking. Taste, on the other hand, was wonderful. I'm going to make these again in a 13x9 pan and give them another shot, however. (Edit...I did make them again, in a 9x13 pan and they were perfect! Thanks!)

These were alright... they held together well and were very moist. I think I'll probably make them again in the future, with a notation to add more coconut and pecans either to the mix or sprinkled on top. The tub of frosting just didn't have enough "stuff" to go around for the whole pan of brownies. I did take the suggestion of several others and baked it in a 13x9. Even in a larger pan and 40 minutes of baking made for pretty "doughy" brownies- next time I'll cook it at least 5 minutes longer.

These brownies are sinfully good and so easy to make. I baked them for a charity auction and they sold out! I'm making them again this year!

They were amazing ! Super sweet and moist, I made them for my family and everyone loved them. They were far better than any I've sampled.

We really did not find these very good. They stayed way too gooey, and never set.
