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.
