Every one wanted brownies, no mixes at home, so I found your recipe and decided to give it a try. It was so easy to throw together, and they were absolutely divine. The only problem they said was there wasn't enough of them. They were all gone by the next morning. Midnight raiders attack again lol

These were good and pretty much the same as "Best Brownies" on this site, which is my usual stand-by. The butter does provide a much richer flavor. The texture is chewey without being too cakey or fudgy. If you're looking for cake-like or fudgy this isn't your recipe. I will probably make these again.

These were OHMYGOSH good. I made them in a fit of chocolate dependency, and am not even ashamed to say that I ate the entire pan, by myself, in 2 days. These brownies are moist and have great chocolate flavor, and they're SUPER easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly. Believe me, these are going down in the "tried-and-true-" book in black ink!!!

these were good. I made them with butter instead of vegetable oil, and skipped the walnuts. They were rich and moist, nothing really wrong with them, but they just weren't as good as my usual recipe. (which has brown sugar in it, I'm thinking that a switch to brown sugar would make this one better...)

The best! I doubled the recipe also, used 1/2 C oil & 1/2 C applesauce, baked in a 9 x 13 for about 40 minutes, frosted them with a can of chocolate frosting & these tasted just like what you buy from bakeries!! Rich, fudgy, moist--this is the only recipe for brownies I'll use from now on. Thanks OP!!

Soft and chewy! These brownies were delicious! They didn't last one day in our house. I'm always looking for milk-free recipes as we have allergies. This one is definately a keeper! We like our brownies a little thicker, so next time I'll make them in an 8x8 pan instead.

This recipe was perfect!! I reduced the sugar down to 3/4 C because my family likes brownies not too sweet. I think this will be my default brownie recipe from now on. Thank you so much!

I doubled the recipe and left out the walnuts. I also added more cocoa powder and less sugar to make it more chocolatey. I realized after I put it in the oven that I forgot the baking powder. It still turned out delicious. It reminded me of a flourless chocolate cake. YUMMY

I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 butter, 1/2 oil. I also used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa. The doubled recipe was perfect for the 8x8 pan. These brownies tasted really good, but had too much fat. I will bake these again, doubling the recipe but only using 1/2 cup butter. I love a rich, moist brownie but not one that is oozing oil.

I threw calorie/fat caution to the wind and made these for my family! The only thing I did as some suggested is "double" the recipe. They turned out moist inside with a nice crunchy top... delish! I am saying Goodbye to box mixes after this one!

These were very good. I like them a little on the chewy side with that thin dry crackly top. I say they were very good as they only lasted a few hours. I think I got half a piece. In a 9 x 9" pan they are not tall, making them a nice small dessert. Stay close to the oven in the last few minutes as they can quickly become overdone. Using cocoa powder, rather than melted chocolate makes them less expensive to put together without compromising flavour. I'll be making them again soon.

This was my first take at homemade brownies and I'm now convinced! I used the vegetable oil, doubled the recipe, and put them in a 9x13 pan lined with parchment paper. These were so yummy and moist. I took them to a party and they were gone in no time. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Not enough batter for a 9X9 pan. The brownies turned out more cakelike and about 1/2" thick. Will use an 8X8 pan next time.

Great taste. Used melted butter. Baked in 8x8 pyrex for 27 minutes. Mine turned out light almost cake-ish. Very simple to make. Will use instead of store box. On a side note: Not everyone knows where their recipe originated from. Lighten up and thanks for sharing.

The whole family loved these brownies and they were very easy to make. Adding chocolate sauce on them makes it even better. I will try using 1/4c of melted butter with 1/4c oil next time I make it as other suggested.

no matter where this recipe came from, i'm glad it was posted and featured in a newsletter. holy cow, i'm on my second square hot out of the oven and i can't get over how delicious (and easy to prepare) they are. made as instructed, including walnuts, and added mini choc chips and drizzled with caramel before cooking. used an 8 x 8 pan, forgot it would take 30 minutes, checked them every 5 from 20, took them out at 32. and thanks to the engineering geniuses at kraft, i was able to squirt an ample amount of cool whip in a can onto this delectable treat. fantastic!

Just made them now - delicious! I took others advise and used 1/4 cup butter and the rest Canola oil, used only 1/2 cup sugar and they turned out really good. Will make them again for sure.
