I substituted half a cup of dark chocolate pudding half cup butter. For the full cup of butter. Then I put little drops pudding on top of the batter once it was in the pan and cut it into the batter. My fiance said they turned out delicious.

Made a half batch for the wife and I. This is a good recipe that does come out fluffy from the eggs without rising agents. I enjoy a more fudge like consistency, so I am going to try half vegetable oil half butter next time.

Wow, wow wow, these are so warm and moist. They are perfect for a much needed chocolate fix. I will be making these in the future..

This is my first attempt at making homemade brownies. I tweaked the recipe based on the previous comments. I used 1/2 cup of butter 1/2 cup veg oil 3 eggs and all purpose flour. Sprinkled chopped nuts and semi sweet chocolate chips on top before baking. Total baking time 25 minutes. They were great.

 Ricky Jay (South Dakota) says:
This recipe is simple and good. It's not too sweet, and the brownies are fluffy. For extra chocolate flavor, add some chocolate chips! AWESOME!

 Sara (Kentucky) says:
I modified this a bit after reading some of the reviews. I used 1 c. of cocoa powder, and 1/2 c. melted butter plus 1/3 c. canola oil (in lieu of 1 c. butter only). Baked for 23 min. at 350°F, and they turned out perfectly chocolatey and fudgy! (For anyone who desires a more fudgy rather than cake-like texture...I highly recommend!) This is my new favorite brownie recipe!

Soooooo GOOD. I was hesitant to make these but I am glad I did. Even if they are a 'lil cake like.

 Andrew (Kansas) says:
I made these brownies with only one change. I put in a full bag of semi sweet chocolate. It took over an hour but was well worth it.

 Tonya (Virginia) says:
These were awesome, very moist and cake like. I put some chocolate chips in mine. So I am baking them to give out to my neighbors for the dessert exchange.
