I grew up making these brownies from the time I was a little girl. It was in a Duncan Hines cookbook that belonged to my mother. A family favorite!!!

The brownies were okay, but weren't chocolatey enough like a brownie.

I decided to try these tonight. I do alot of baking and i am an expert. I made several batches but the inside wouldn't get done. Even with overcooking it.

Super easy - I followed exactly; next time I would reduce sugar slightly. Big hit and took no time at all!!

 Jen B. (United States) says:
These brownies were only ok. They were very cakey and overall just so so. I did not alter the recipe, I made it exactly as stated. I am a chocolate lover and would have enjoyed a more fudgey, chocolatey brownie (I used Ghiradelli cocoa in the brownies).

This is the easiest,best tasting homemade brownie EVER!!! My husband didn't like brownies but when he tasted these, he couldn't stop eating them. I had to add a 'lil milk and just recently I found some caramel in the fridge that my daughter had made. I shaved it and added to the brownie mix and its really scrumptious. Thanks for the best brownie recipe.

I just finished making these and...they were great for what they are. I didn't have cocoa powder so I used 2 packets of Swiss-Miss chocolate lovers hot chocolate and added a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar. it was great only baked for 25 minutes at 350°F in a 9x13 pan I don't have a square pan.

 Christine F. (Texas) says:
I used coconut oil instead of butter, 5 tbsp. of pernigotti cocoa, and a cup of chopped walnuts. These were so delicious. They weren't as sweet as a box mix, which is good. I prefer them less sweet. This is a keeper recipe.
