 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.

 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.

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.

 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.

 Beca Smith (New Hampshire) says:
It was tough to stir, took a lot longer than 25 minutes to bake and I think uses too much butter but other than that it was really good.

This recipe is so easy and great. I put 1 cup of peanut butter after batter was done and in pan, and made it a peanut butter marge brownie. Super moist and good!! My new favorite recipe. Very easy.

Cream the butter and super together in a bowl with a spoon, then add rest of ingredients. Its much easier that way instead of adding butter last.

 Larbrh (Indiana) says:
These were so easy to make. My oven went out so I had to bake these in a toaster over. I divided the batch in half and baked in an square 8" pan for 20 mins. They turned out perfect and my family loved them. I added walnuts to the second half of the batch which turned out the same. Thank you for this recipe.

 Unknown (Illinois) says:
This recipie is absolutely amazing. I would suggest adding about 10 more minutes to this amazing brownie recipie and then it will be fully cooked. I added half a bag of chocolate chips and that made it even more chocolaty.
