In the past two weeks I’ve made this recipe no less than 5 times! This is so much better than the box kind! They don’t even need any frosting! Super fudge-like and just sweet enough; reminds me more of dark chocolate. Plus they have crunchy/chewy edges and a moist center. These are also great to add stuff to: almonds, candy chips, etc. I added extra vanilla because that’s the way I like it and a good shake of cinnamon too. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!

I love these brownies. I made them for teacher appreciation week and then made them for my family. They are just the way I like them: nice and gooey and not cake like.

I’ve tried making homemade brownies before, but they always disappointed me. But these – THESE!! are the ones! So moist, chewy, and just perfect. I’ll never buy brownie mix again.

These brownies definitely get two thumbs up for being really easy to make. But I like my brownies to be a little fudgier, and I didn’t find the chocolate flavor to be as compelling as I’d hoped it would be. (Admittedly, this may be because I didn’t use the recommended cocoa powder; I just used Trader Joe’s.)
If I need brownies in a pinch, I’ll certainly think of this recipe, but otherwise I’d probably make something else that’s a little more decadent and fudgy.

This were great and definitely fulfilled my chocolate craving without requiring me to drive all the way to the store to get any fancy ingredients – I had everything in the pantry! I like them best cold with added chocolate chips. YUM.
An important note – I used gluten-free flour (without adding xantham gum) in place of the all-purpose flour, and it worked great!

the brownies were awesome and so quick and easy! my boyfriend ate a third of the pan before they even had a chance to cool! i will definitely make these again

these were pretty good as far as texture. i think i left them in just a smidge too long. they might have been perfect. i did double the recipe in a 9×13 pan (i baked them for 40 min. i think 35 min. would have been perfect.) they were a lot thicker than i thought they would be & i was worried they would be all dry, but they were still moist. i think next time i will add just a little bit more cocoa powder (probably just a couple tablespoons) but anyway, really close to a the boxed kind. yummy!

I gave this a ONE MITT BECAUSE THEY MADE ME GIVE IT AT LEAST ONE! I actually signed up to this site JUST to express my distaste with these brownies… These are the WORST tasting brownies I have EVER had… I followed the recipe PERFECTLY and they turned out VERY dry and bitter… I emptied the pan on the ground shortly after spitting my first bite in the garbage and even the wild animals haven’t eaten them… and that was 5 hours ago! PLEASE DON’T WASTE GOOD INGREDIENTS ON THESE BROWNIES!!!!!!!

A must try. Very moist and chocolaty you won’t be sorry you tried this easy recipe.

These are wonderful! Very moist. Had to cook mine for almost a total of 30 minutes — could have been just my oven – but these are fabulous… Half the pan is already gone!

Absolutely great! In the past, I’ve always been skeptical about from-scratch brownies. They always seemed to be more like cake than anything, or they would just be too mushy. My husband and I came to the sad conclusion that the box brownies were always going to be the best.
I made these tonight because I needed chocolate, I didn’t have any brownie mixes (and didn’t want to go to the store to buy one), and I already had all the ingredients. What a surprise that these actually had the crispy brownie top and were still nice and moist inside! My hubby and I are very happy to have finally found a from-scratch recipe that beats the box!
Thanks so much for sharing this!

You’re my new best friend! I made these on my day off when I wanted chocolate, but it was stormy, and I didn’t want to get out to get it. This recipe did the trick!

gooey and chewy just the way I love them! Thank you!

I am American but I live in Australia, where a good brownie cannot be found. They’re like eating a piece of really bad chocolate cake. I used to import brownie mix, but it costs an arm and a leg to do that. After finding this recipe, I won’t be importing brownies again! These were just wonderful. I am incredibly picky about brownies, but these were just what I was after. I will be using this recipe from now on! Thanks so much!

I make these all the time I have also added 1/2 cup of pecans to the batter and after they bake for 16 min I pull them out sprinkle on top 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and 1 1/4 cup of mini marshmellows and bake them for another 5 minutes and call them “Rocky Road”. We love these brownies!!
