I had an unbelievable chocolate craving, and these brownies sure did the trick! Very easy to make, and very tasty! Instead of walnuts, I used some slivered almonds that I wanted to use up. After pouring on the glaze, I sprinkled a few more almonds on top. Next time, I think I will make a double batch, as suggested in step 6 - a single batch just disappears too quickly! However, in the directions for making the cocoa glaze, it doesn't say when we're supposed to add the vanilla, so I just added it when I added the butter. Came out fine. -
This is a delicious recipe! It was perfect for making with my 2 year old. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars was because I substituted butter for the margarine and chocolate chips for the nuts. Other than that this is perfection! -
Mmmmm! Mmmmm!! Mmmmm!!!! (as I float in the air). 5 stars, heqq! You get all 50 of them. Thanks, Tweety Grams, for this recipe. -
I'd give more if i could. These brownies were the bomb. My 9 yr old made them today all by himself for his school carnival tomorrow. Its a keeper for certain. Not as sweet as i was expecting but hey there chewy and fudgy like i like them to be! LaGrande,Oregon -
Delicious! I was worried when they came out because they look a little wet, but they are just gooey and chewy and wonderful! I don't like nuts in my brownies so I left those out. In the glaze I substituted peppermint extract for vanilla which gave it a really fun flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

Sorry, but I would never include an ingredient (margarine) that is one step away from plastic. Only real butter in my house. Think about the ramifications of the ingredients, along with other factors, when you make a recipe. Other than that large indiscretion, it sounds pretty good. -
This would probably be 3 stars from me, but dh liked it. My all-purpose flour bin was empty, and I didn't want to go to the basement to refill it, and plus I wanted to make these healthier, so I used whole wheat pastry flour for all the flour. I also added chia and flax seeds, and substituted sucanat for half the sugar. I would try this next time with regular flour; this turned out quite crumbly and cake-y, while I was hoping for a chewy brownie. Not overly sweet, which was good. -

These should be considered illegal because they are SO good!!!! Really easy and they set up beautifully. I added a little brandy extract to the glaze instead of the vanilla extract but that is all I changed. Fabulous!!!! A must try for any brownie fan!!!!! Thank you, Tweety Grams!!!!!!
