The easiest and best tasting I've ever had. Dried cherries or cranberries would be great. Did have to increase the baking time. Thank you for this!

These were the worst brownies I've ever made. They had no taste. I threw them away. I tripled checked to make sure I didn't miss adding an ingredient. Just awful! I will never make these again.

I have been making these for 5 years. I have added chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, Heath toffee pieces, M&M's, whatever sounds good & I have available when I am making them. My family loves them every time they are made!

These brownies were delicious! Moist and fudge-like in the middle. I used all the ingredients in the quantities listed but I changed the method just a bit. I put the butter in a saucepan over low heat to melt. While I was waiting, I put the sugar, cocoa, eggs and vanilla in a bowl and whisked with a wire whisk. I then whisked in the melted butter til combined. I put 1/2 cup flour and the salt in the bowl and whisked til combined then added the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition. This avoided the trouble stirring that some other commenters mentioned. They were perfectly done in 25 minutes at 350°F. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
