Delicious and scrumptious! I love this easy to make recipe. It's everything you want a brownie to be! Easy to make I will never buy boxed again as I already have all the ingredients on hand. Glad its made with butter, I don't like to bake with any thing else. Thank you for sharing this, and teaching how easy it is to make homemade brownies!

I have tried many recipes on this site, and I haven't made anything my family didn't like. Anytime we want something new, this site is up and we're looking for something until we can all agree.. Its hard sometimes to choose because there are so many recipes on this site.

This recipe for brownies was awesome. I doubled the recipe so the brownies would be a bit more cakey and cooked them in an 8 x 11 glass baking dish and it was awesome. I'm still having to convience myself that if I dont get away from them I'll hurt myself eating too many! Loved it!
