I made this recipe for my DD's yearbook class, with melted mini M&Ms on top, and they were a huge hit! After reading reviews, I made the following tweaks: 1.5 cups sugar, 3/4 cup real butter, and 1 cup A/P flour. Best when made a day before and refrigerated overnight. YUM!!

OMG! this was the first time I made homemade brownies, and these were delicious! But I reduced the flour to 1 cup, as reviewers suggested. And they came out DELICIOUS. they're very yummy. Everyone should make these brownies. Just Perfect.

I've tried a lot of brownie recipes and usually I'm somewhat let down with the promised results. Not only are these simple to put together and bake, they turn out well, also. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8 inch glass Pyrex dish for about twenty five minutes, just until I could smell the aromma of baking brownie! I used a Dutch process cocoa (organic) and otherwise followed the directions. When they came out of the oven I placed some semi-sweet chocolate chips on the top and spread over the brownies as the chips melted, this formed a thin layer of icing that amped up the taste a bit. The texture was fantastic, sort of cake-y yet fudgy, yum. I can see where some may be let down by the mild flavor but this makes the recipe great for add-ins like nuts or flavored chips. Can't go wrong with this one!

Good recipe. I only used 1 cup of flour and these were still very cakey brownies. I omitted the nuts and added cacao nibs instead.

These are absolutely wonderful. I don't do boxed mixes, so I'm always looking for a "new and improved" recipe. This is perfect. They are so quick and easy to make, and taste delicious. I used this recipe for a chocolate trifle, and I could not have used better brownies.

I just made these and snuck a piece to make sure they're okay before I bring them to a family event. ;) I reduced the flour to 1 cup as other reviewers suggested and I also added a handful of semi-sweet choc. chips. The bake time was longer than expected... my oven isn't the most powerful so at first I put them in for 27 mins. then another 4 and then an additional 4..! The texture of these brownies is great. Not too soft and not too fudgey. I'd add more choc. chips or something because the chocolate taste is a bit lacking. These are a good base brownie. I'm going to make these again and again and experiment by adding different ingredients! The title doesn't lie, these are super easy.
