Yummy Soft and Simple (Evil) Brownies

"These are incredible! Brought these to a departmental function and they literally inhaled them. I'm editing this intro to add that several people have added chocolate chips to the batter and have been VERY HAPPY with the results! "

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine thoroughly.
  • Spread evenly in a buttered 8-inch square baking pan and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 25 minutes.
  • Cool before cutting into 2-inch squares. (Really, let them cool....they are pretty likely to fall apart if you don't.)

  1. Yummy! These taste great, unfortunatly they fell apart when I took them out of the tin, but they were probably still to warm. Made them without nuts, for the kids and they loved making and eating them!

  3. so yum!! i use 4oz of chocolate. =) i've used this recipe many times with different kinds of chocolate(dark, milk). it's nice with toffee bits, nuts, etc. =)
     
  4. Update: My oven just got fixed, so I tried this recipe out again, and I am happy to report that this time tbe brownie turned out perfect. I doubled the recipe and used 8 oz dark choc and no chocolate chips, and knew that I had to change this review. Thank you for posting Even with the bottom slightly burnt, this brownie tasted fantastic... crispy outside, and chewy inside. I added choc chips instead of nuts, and used 3.5 oz dark chocolate. Next time, I would experiment with either a lower baking temperature or a shorter baking time. Thank you for posting.
     
  5. I'm having a craving for chocolate, but I'm stuck at home with a broken foot and our car has been in the shop for over a week. I have limited ingredients, but found half a box of semisweet baking chocolate in the cupboard. I was really happy to find this recipe!! It is extremely quick and easy to make. I did melt the butter with the chocolate, but I don't think that made spreading the batter any easier. However, I don't think it was that big of a deal. As long as you use an 8 inch square pan, it should be fine. It does spread very thin and the brownies are very thin as well. Kind of crunchy on the edges, but I used a stoneware pan so that's to be expected. Very chewy in the middle. No nuts because I'm allergic. I just ate a bunch out of the pan (still quite warm) and it didn't fall apart like other reviewers noted. I didn't read the reviews beforehand, but I think adding vanilla would be a good idea. It does taste a bit different from a regular brownie, but still good. Thanks!

Tweaks

  1. I agree with the previous reviewer who said "It was really thick, very uneasy to spread." Perhaps if the butter was melted, the batter would have been easier to spread. I was surprised that the recipe had no vanilla extract in it. I added 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to my batch. I also left out the nuts but added chocolate chips on top instead. The brownies tasted ok to me but I think I have other brownie recipes that I will use on a regular basis.
