  1. These brownies were... OK. For a brownie with deluxe fudgy in the name I expected more. They were very bland. Not a lot of flavor. A good recipe to build on, just not solid enough to stand alone.
     
  2. FYI- DO NOT USE OIL! Either use the butter/margarine it calls out for or use Vegetable Shortening. Very important!! These were the tastiest, most delicious homemade brownies I have made. I have tried several throughout this site and others and they have never given me that chocolatey taste or that fudge-like texture. I'm vegan so I had to use an egg replacer and I used vegetable shortening instead of the butter. I will be making these again. Thanks!
     
  3. Mmmm mmm MMM!!! This is the BEST brownie recipe I have ever made y'all! It was quick to do! The only thing I had an issue with was that mine took 35 minutes to be ready, but i did use "I can't believe it's not butter" so maybe that had something to do with it! These brownies have a slightly crunchy top, and a chewy DELICIOUS center! I will be for sure making this one again!
     
  4. Easy to make. Baked mine for about 25 minutes.
     
  5. These are now my go-to brownies! Sooo easy and fast! Very dense and fudgy and definitley full of chocolate!

  1. I made these to bring into work and I only got to eat a bite. That bite told me that this is the go-to brownie recipe I was looking for. They are perfectly soft and fudgy- just as they should be. Seeing as some people were saying that the chocolate taste could be stronger, I replaced three tablespoons of flour with cocoa powder and the results were fantastic. I also omitted the nuts.
     
  2. Wonderful brownies! Great texture, dense but not heavy and perfectly chocolate. This recipe has lots of 5 star ratings and deserves every single one of them! I added chocolate chips instead of the walnuts and added a fudgy icing. Thanks for posting this, it's definitely on the make again list!
     
  3. Budget friendly recipe with ingredients I keep on hand. Great tasting too. I used part butter and part I can't believe it's not butter. I substituted pecans for the walnuts and added toffee bits as an additional topping. Thanks for posting such a great recipe. This is a keeper.
     
  4. Very good! I've made this twice - once with butter and once substituting oil instead. I do NOT recommend the oil. Recipe is MUCH better as written. These are rich and I can taste that they are made with cocoa powder, but DH didn't seem to notice. It doesn't bother me, I just seem to be able to detect it easily in sweets for some reason. This was simple to mix up and only dirtied one bowl, so minimal clean-up to boot! I melted the butter in my pyrex bowl and mixed the rest of the ingredients up in the same bowl. I figured up 2/3 cup of butter = 10 2/3 TBS and that calculation seemed to work fine. Baked this in a dark pan, so reduced the temp to 325. 30 minutes was spot on timewise. Very moist!
     
  5. Thanks so much for a great brownie recipe that I can make with inexpensive ingredients normally found in my cabinet! (I used pecans instead of walnuts) Take my advice: Eat these straight out of the oven before completely cool. They are wonderful when warm!
