 Randy (Texas) says:
Great easy recipe but like others mine took 30 min. I also used 3/4 c of cocoa but think I will cut the butter down to 1/2 a cup. They were very moist and will make again.

 Debbie Hajek (United States) says:
I love this recipe. I did bake longer and stirred the flour a little at a time. Made several times and use the dark cocoa.

 Becca (United States) says:
Was good and moist. But it did take a lot longer to bake than stated. It took almost 38 minutes, and yes I did not include pre heating in that number.

 Cora (United States) says:
I melted the butter in a large pan over the stove on low heat, then quickly stirred in the other ingredients, then poured in pan and put in pre-heated oven right away. Made it a lot easier to mix and came out awesome. Took 30 minutes.

These are great! As I was baking them I discovered I only had one cup of flour. I took a chance, and they still turned out wonderful!! They had to bake for 30-35 minutes but worth the extra time!

 Darlene (Minnesota) says:
I will never make box brownies again. These were so easy. I added chocolate chips and pecans. Had to cook them for 40 minutes.

 Karlee Barlows (Kansas) says:
It took more than 20 minutes, about 40, because it got cooked on the outside but not on the inside. Since we didn't have cocoa we added hot chocolate mix and also hot fudge and chocolate chips to make it more chocolatey.

 Bri (Utah) says:
I do suggest for those who needed longer turning up your oven a little bit then limiting the time it usually works great for me (dont burn them) hope this helps and theses are the best brownies i have ever made except for a different recipe which call for more chocolate.
