I tried this recipe for the first time tonight and made it according to the directions that were given clearly but not including everything that was on the ingredient list. I could not see where the extra 2 tablespoons of butter and the 2 tablespoons of cocoa that were mentioned on the list but not included in the directions on the page. The final result came out just fine so I am happy with the results and gave it an excellent rating that puts it right up there with all other brownie recipes that I have tried.
