These turned out just as described, "chewy in the middle and crisp on the outside edges." If you love chewey brownies these are for you! I HATE cake brownies so these were perfect for me. They compare quite nicely to box brownies, which from me is a compliment. I like to make things homemade though so this is my go to recipe for now! Oh the one change I did make was to drop the salt to 1/2 tsp. If you read the reviews you'll see the submitter said that 1 1/2 was a typo. Great recipe, thanks for sharing!

These were delicious. Great LOW SODIUM option- Use 3/4 t of salt and No Salt Baking Powder. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Thank you for the ratings, I am honored you chose my recipe to make. I did make a typo it should be 1/2 teaspoon not 11/2 t. Sorry ..

I loved the texture and will make again. It was Way too sweet and I love everything sweet. So next time I will cut back on the sugar. I also used 1/2 teaspoon salt as others suggested and it was fine.

Not a lot of flavor - I guess that is because of the oil instead of butter. Maybe using some brown sugar instead of so much white would help. Or add more vanilla? Still - it was a good, easy recipe.

These were okay. They tasted a little bland to me. Even with extra sugar and cocoa, the flavor just wasn't there.

Once the salt is reduced (maybe that was a typo?), these brownies are awesome! It's hard to find a brownie recipe that uses cocoa powder that's not too cakey. These were perfectly chewy and delicious! You could do any kind of nuts or none at all, mint extract, chocolate chips, etc.

Excellent! I halved the salt as others suggested, and did not make the glaze (as I like brownies without icing). These were so delicious! Perfectly cakey and fudgy at the same time and the crunchy edges were yummy too. To top it off, this was one of the easiest brownie recipes ever. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

These were AWESOME! I cut recipe in half, used 1/2 c. of cocoa, cut salt to 1/2 teaspoon and added a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Baked for only 25 minutes in a 8x8 glass pan and they turned out perfectly - exactly as promised - slightly crisp edges and chewy middles. I did not bother to frost; they smelled so good, I had to sample after they cooled slightly. HEAVENLY!
