I am not a baker and these turned out fabulous! I did cut the sugar down a bit to 3/4c and was sweet enough for me. So easy and so good!

Taste was okay, but a little on the bitter side; not chocolately enough for me. Not suited for our tastes, but does live up to its name of being chewy.

This is a great recipe though I modified a few things. I only used 1 cup of sugar and added about 1/8 cup of strongly brewed coffee to the cocoa to moisten it. I beat the sugar and eggs together then added the moistened cocoa paste to the eggs & sugar until everything was smooth. Then I stirred in the flour. I also added walnuts, orange extract, and red pepper for a truly grown up delight.

These are the best brownies I've ever had!! After reading most of the reviews, I conclude that people who don't like these either messed up measuring the ingredients or they didn't mix it well enough (a mixer is essential for this one). The only changes I made were to use dark cocoa powder and a buttered & floured pan instead of parchment paper. It puffed up a little during baking and then fell down a bit to make a lovely chewy texture. Yummy!! :p~

Big mistake. These brownies came out a big mess in the pan and the taste wasn't even enough to compensate for the horrendous texture.

I followed the exact recipe the first time and extended the baking time. As a result, it was crispy on the outside and chewy inside. Just the way I like it! But it was way too sweet for me, though. Made another batch with less sugar and it turned out to be cakey and not chewy at all. Guess I have to live with the sweetness after all. My 7 & 11 yr old siblings loved these so much. They didn't mind the sweetness.

Wow. This should be renamed "Chocolate Sin". I halved the recipe, and put it in a 9" pie plate (adding an extra tablespoon or two of ghiradelli cocoa powder). Be aware, you MUST like a strong dark cocoa flavor, or you will not like these. However, for all you dark chocolate addicts, you will find it difficult not to eat the whole plate. Very dense and rich. Just be careful of overcooking, as they dry out very quickly if baked too long.

These are amazing. I do alot of baking and I am a HUGE chocolate and brownie fan. These were the best! I followed the recipe exactly but I didn't use the parchment paper just alot of Pam. I also just dunped the lump into the dish and kind of gently punched it around until it was even. I added 1/2 cup of chocolate chips but they weren't needed. THis will be my only brownie recipe - no more store bought they were so easy too!

I made this recipe as written, but I can't help thinking I did something wrong because the brownies turned out awful! Was uncooked and had a grainy sugar texture. Even the hungry boys wouldn't touch it. I won't be making this again.

Very chewy. Have to let them cool completely, which is their only downfall (I love eating brownies warm, and when these are warm they're soft and gooey, but not chewy).

at first we followed the recipe exactly. but when we mixed the egg mixture with the dry stuff it just turned out crumbly and very powdery. we tried adding an extra egg. then we tried adding milk--but we ran out, so we added 2 tbs of soymilk. with no prevail, we decided to just double the recipe (add more of everything but the cocoa) and it came out fine. It was a very very dense dough and we had trouble spreading it in the pan. it was very dry and very rich. i wonder what i did wrong? it is a little misleading to rate a recipe high when there were so many alterations done to it. If you altered a recipe, repost it! Please don't just give it high ratings.

I thought this was okay. I had to broil and spread some semisweet chips on top to make it fudgier tasting to me. I did decrease sugar and cocoa as suggested by other reviewers, so maybe had I done the recipe as stated it would've been better? I will stick with the Texas Sheet Cake II off this site - tastes just like I think a brownie should!

These brownies are a hit in my household. I do recommend not using the parchment paper. It was huge mess for me. I would however spray PAM or another non stick spray in the pan. I also sprayed some on my hands to flatten out the mixture with ease. Coming out of the oven, they almost looked undercooked, but I resisted the urge to put them back in, and they turned out beautifully. They are moist, rich, and chewy!
