I made this recipe exactly as instructed. The batter fit perfectly into a shallow 10×12 baking dish. The cook time of 17 Minutes resulted in a very soft chewy base. Parts were a little bit too underdone, I will add 2 minutes to the cook time next time. The frosting is very sweet. I don't think it needs quite that much sweetness. My family loved it but I'll cut back on the sugar in the frosting next time.

These were good, but very rich!! It also took a lot longer to bake, but then I had it in a smaller pan (per other reviews). The frosting is really, really good!

I am going to agree with Lizzypoo with their not being enough batter for a 9x13... how in the world could this fit???? Has to be a typo. I fit perfectly in a 9 inch square. HOWEVER!!! On to the recipe.. WOW these are so good and the frosting was FABULOUS!!! Will make them again. I have been getting frustrate with the Zaar... I will find recipes with GREAT reviews.. tons of them and then they taste HORRIBLE but THESE are delish!!! Thank you for sharing

These were sooooo good!!!! My boyfriend and I were kind of skeptical, especially since we only had crunchy peanut butter but even that worked! The frosting is amazing!

this recipe made absolutly fabulous brownies however it doesn't say how much baking soda to add. i added 1/2 a teaspoon there also was not enough batter to fill a 9X13 pan so i put it in a square 9 inch and then it took like 45 minutes to cook but when they were finally done they were incredible frosted them with fudge icing yummy!
