A very dry recipe, more cake-like. Needs icing.

This was quick and easy. If you are desperate for a chocolate dessert and have run out of flour(I was, needed brownies for church function, and hadn't been shopping, sick kid at home), these are ok. It was the only recipe I could find with no flour using semi- sweet chocolate. The middle was cakelike, but I preferred the ends which were crusty & chewy. It was not too sweet (some brownies are so rich & sickeningly sweet that you can't eat more than a sliver). My kids liked it. I prefer moist,fudgier brownies with a chewier texture and more chocolate flavor. I entered these in a brownie competition at church to benefit charity. I did not win, but I liked these better than the 2nd place winner! I noticed that the recipe does not give an amount for the nuts. I used 1/2 cup broken pecans. Later I looked up the Bisquick recipe and that asks for 3/4 cup chopped nuts. It also says use butter or margarine softened,& sweet cooking chocolate. The results may have been different had I used butter,more nuts,sweet chocolate and packed the 1/2 cup brown sugar. This recipe bailed me out but, bottom line, if I had flour and unsweetened chocolate I would choose to make a different brownie recipe.

Overall, these tasted very good and looked very pretty with the pecans sprinkled on top. I do agree with the first reviewer in that the consistency was more cake-like. This is very easy and quick to make. Suitable for serving to company with ice cream and caramel or chocolate syrup. Also, I had a few recipe deviations --used reduced fat Bisquick and 1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the 1 oz chocolate pieces.

I made this on thanksgiving. For dessert. It was gone in less then 5 minutes.

With my one modification, I give this recipe 4 stars (I'd give it 5, but this change is necessary.) As other readers complained of dryness, I added a heaping 1/2 cup of shredded zucchini. This moisture cured the dryness issue...just add about 10 minutes more baking time. Simple and delicious. I made this for a labor day gathering and everyone loved it. I wish that I made 2, because it was gone in a flash.

Not good. Dry w/little flavor.
