These were delish! I didn't add the nuts or raisins, but substituted white chocolate chips and my kids LOVED them! I did have to use almost every measuring spoon and cup, but we got 'em done. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Very nice brownie. I'm on a quest for the perfect chocolate brownie and so baked 2 different recipe's on the same day. My family judged them and this one came out top, easily. I added squares of chocolate to the mix instead of the nuts and raisins. The brownies were tasty and moist, slightly crunchy on the top and chewy at the edges. Not perfect, but certainly getting there!

These are ssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD! I didn't use the nuts or raisins, the brownie was so rich already, you didn't need them! I frosted them with Brownie Frosting Recipe #77692 by AndyPandy WHile they were still warm then kept them in the fridge - Scrumptious!

DS gave these 2 THUMBS UP! Made 1/2 the recipe for the photo swap and didn't use the raisins or nuts as my DS doesn't prefer them and I was making these for him. But, I did substitute chocolate chips and they worked out wonderful! Enjoy the pics Sylvie and I'm so glad I got involved in this photo swap, it's really fun!
