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.

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..

 Charles (Texas) says:
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.

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.

Great recipe! I might add some real chocolate to it next time. Love it, I melted the butter then folded it into the batter

 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.

 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.

I will never make box brownies again. These were so easy. I added chocolate chips and pecans. Had to cook them for 40 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!
