I made these as written instead of decreasing the eggs and omitting the baking powder. I gave it a shot because my father prefers cake like brownies vs. fudgey. I also used an 11X7 baking dish. So the final result was cakier on the outskirts and a little fudgier for the middle pieces. So I guess I got the best of both worlds to satisfy the cakey and fudgy brownie lovers. The taste was very good. Nice and chocolatey. May add mini choco chips next time or some choco icing! Thanks!

After reading many of the reviews, it quickly became apparent the original Deep Dish Brownie recipe was no longer being rated--it was the NEW Deep Dish Brownie recipe: 2 eggs, no baking powder. I like a chewy rather than cake-like brownie so this is what I did as well. However, this recipe shouldn't be rated on whether it's better with 2 or 3 eggs--not fair. After all, even a brownie mix gives variations, depending on whether a fudgey or cakey brownie is preferred. Having said that, it IS specific and relevant to this recipe that I can say that while the texture is fine, there is just simply too much sugar, too much butter, and not enough chocolate--whether you make the recipe as stated or eliminate 1 egg and the baking powder. I could make the suggestions to reduce sugar by 1/2 c., reduce butter by 1/4 c., and increase cocoa by a couple of tablespoons and maybe even add a tsp. or so of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor--but then this would be an entirely different recipe. As written, this recipe will not be a repeat for me.

I omitted the baking powder and used only 2 eggs, as the previous reviewer suggested. These turned out wonderfully.

I give these brownies five stars with the adjustments made by other reviewers: omit baking powder and use two eggs instead of three. Makes very dense, intensely flavored chocolate brownies, just what I was looking for.

Made this last night for 10 people and everyone loved them! I made the same changes mentioned in the reviews (less egg, no baking powder, more cocoa), and they came out perfect. Took about 50 minutes to cook a double batch of them in a 9x13 pan.

This is really a spectacular recipe! I threw out all my other brownie recipes after trying this one. It's easy to modify (adding things on top like marshmallows, jam or little candies) and always turn out great. I've tried the recipe using only 2 eggs and no baking powder or salt and every time they're awesome!

Awesome!!! My 6 year and I made these brownies and we will not make brownies from a box again. We did like others suggested. We doubled the recipe using only 4 eggs, and omitted the baking powder and added chocolate chips. Put them in a 9x13 glass dish spayed with olive oil. Moist and chewy brownies. Next time we'll try adding peanut butter chips.

What an awesome, easy recipe. I utilized the same changes as other reviewers (eggs, baking powder and more cocoa). I made the 8x8 recipe and baked for 35 minutes. During last 5 minutes I topped with mini chocolate chips, toasted chopped pecans, sea salt & caramel sauce I made (Trader Joe's Fleur de Sel caramels melted with a splash of whipping cream). They cut like a dream when cooled. A gourmet dessert in under an hour; how can you beat that?! Thanks for sharing this gem!

I took the advice of other reviewers and used 2 eggs instead of 3, omitted the baking powder, and added extra cocoa + walnuts + chocolate chips to produce a chewy, fudgy brownie. They came out just like that, but even better than I could have hoped!

It's too bad there aren't more stars! This recipe is THAT good. All my friends are crazy about these brownies and I can't get enough of them. These are like Duncan Hines brownies in texture but they're way tastier. I've tried this recipe with canola oil instead of butter/margarine and it comes out just fine, though slightly less tasty--that is to say that only I noticed the difference and my friends/family didn't.

A definite crowd-pleaser. I doubled it and used 5 eggs instead of 6, and special dark chocolate cocoa. I also added one cup each semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. I bake a lot for my co-workers (in an office of 60) and these were raved about!

One day when I had only one egg available, I made these brownies. They turned out with the same great test. I am so pleased with this wonderful, but easy recipe. Thanks Biz.

These are the best brownies I have ever made. I did make adjustments to the recipe ... I only used 1/2 cup of butter because otherwise the butter taste is overwhelming. I omitted the baking powder and only used 2 eggs as others suggested because I prefer fudgy brownies to cakelike brownies. I put M&Ms on top of one batch. I will definitely make these again and again!

Yes, these are excellent. With the omission of 1 egg and half the baking powder, they were soft and fudgy. I had read a couple review about them not being chocolatey enough and also the butter being too overwhelming. As far as the chocolateyness-i melted about1/3 cup of chocolate chips with the butter, plus added chocolate chips to batter. They were VERY chocolatey-probably too much so for me. Next time i wont add choc. chips. Also, about the butter-they are very greasy. My lips were coated with grease after eating, but hey, who eats brownies when they are worried about eating something healthy? I substituted part melted vegetable shortening for some of the butter so butter flavor wouldnt be too much, also because i live in a tropical climate and baking with butter doesnt work out well here--always turns out a wierd texture. Shortenign works better. Give these a try, you'll like them.

I did not like these brownies at all! I followed the recipe exactly, and they were EXTREMELY dry and bitter! I've never had anything turn out this bad and I cook very frequently. Since it's chocolate, and I have such a sweet tooth, normally I'll just eat it! Not this time!

I LOVE this recipe! I have been in search of an amazing, incredibly fudgey brownie and this is it! As suggested by other reviewers, I doubled the recipe for a 9x13 pan. The first time I made these, I omitted the baking powder and I reduced the eggs from 6 to 5, as suggested. I also always use salted butter for baking, so I omitted the salt as well. The brownies came out very well, but they were still a bit on the cakey side for me. So I tried it again the following week, only this time I used only 4 eggs. I omitted the salt and baking powder again as well. I also added probably a cup full of chocolate chips, a must. I baked them for only 35 minutes and the second batch was PERFECT!! I will never go back to mix brownies again! These brownies are absolutely to die for! Because they only baked for 35 minutes, I let them cool for 15-20 minutes to let everything set before cutting. I plan to make them for Valentine’s Day and for many birthdays in the next few months. I highly recommend these brownies. Thank you for this lovely recipe. p.s.-the aroma of these brownies baking is irresistible!
