  • “YUMMMMM!!! So easy to make and SO yummy!!! I made them without nuts because my kids dont like nuts and it was scrumptious!!! I’ll definately be making these again.”

  • “best brownies i’ve ever made!!!!i baked them last night for a valentine’s treat for my boyfriend – as a little romantic touch, cut them out with a heart-shaped cookie cutter.they are sooooo good!!!!and way easy!”

  • “This look’s like a great recipe, easy ingredients. and straight forward instructions.UPDATE: Hi it’s me again, I tried these brownies, and they are fantastic. I will be making these quiet often. Thank you.”

  • “I love this recipe! I chopped up a dark chocolate candy bar and threw it in. It was even better.”

  • “Nothing to change, great just the way it is.”

  • “Outstanding!Easy and almost “shout” homemade with love, according to my husband.Thanks for sharing.”

  • “We’ve made these twice now and the clan unanimously agrees that this is our new “family brownie recipe”. Wonderful, fudgy flavor and texture. Even the 17 year old son was able to achieve excellent results following the recipe.”

  • “These brownies are what brownies should be, fudgy and gooey!They really were perfect!The batter is very thick and you get a good workout stirring it up.I lined my 9×13 pan with parchment paper so I didn’t have to grease the pan.When the brownies are ready to be cut I just lift it all out of the pan and there’s no clean-up.I cut the brownies into tiny little portions, that way I didn’t feel so bad when I indulges.They were like little bites of chocolate heaven!”

  • “Ooey, gooey, rich, and chewy!Just like a brownie should be!Wonderful and a definite, “make again” recipe…A real keeper!Thanks so much for this delicious recipe!YUMMERS!—Martha :)”

  • “When I tried this recipie the first time round, I thought who would ever rate this more then a one? I had made half the recipie, and unfortunately baked it in a “too small” pan. I ended up w/brownies spilling out over the pan, and then burnt brownie bits all over my oven. Ah!I did try them again today, w/the only alteration using a bigger pan, and the results were wonderful. Nice and chocolaty brownies, and there is no way u can eat just one. The instructions were also easy to follow, which of course always helps. Thanks for sharing!”

  • “My husband, who considers himself a brownie connoisseur, loves these and thinks they are truly perfect. I agree. Easy to make and oh so wonderful. A definite crowd-pleaser.”

  • “I will add my kudos to the rest. Delicious…moist and very chocolately.Thanks”

  • “UNBELIEVABLE!!! I swear, cross my heart, I will NEVER buy a boxed mix again! I didn’t even have the vanilla to add and these came out perfect. They filled up the pan nice and deep like no boxed mix can. I COULD NOT wait for them to cool, so I cut them warm and they popped out easily. Everyone is raving about them. Thank you!”

  • “First thing first…i am NEVER going to buy another brownie! After trying these ones.They were fantastic!!They were moist chewy and so chocolatey.After they cooled, i too cut them up with a cookie cutter into bite size hearts and stars.Love them!!I did add a couple of white chocolate chips to it, but I think they would be rich enough as it is.Don’t change the recipe at all!They were wonderful!! “

  • “I think these are the Award Winning Brownies.They were simple to make and turned out wonderful.Thanks for a great recipe!!”

  • “I used to have a recipe similar to this one & lost it. This is a wonderful, moist chewy brownie. My husband & I both loved it!!! Thanks. Yvonne”

  • “OMG these are good. My dish was 8″ X 11″, so I had to bake mine for about 45 minutes. Delicious is ALL I can say!”

  • “Yummy!! Loved these, very addicitive, I will have to stay far(trying to and have to knock off a few pounds) :)My house smelt WONDERFUL while these were baking, and, when these were done, and I opened the door of my oven, mmmmmmmmmmmm, I was in CHOCOLATE PARADISE!
