Really good brownies!!! I wanted something easy but fudgy to get me over a case of the blahs, so I whipped this up. They are soft and chewy and crust up nice and yummy around the edges (my favorite part!) My husband, his coworkers (and of course me) all loved them.<br/><br/>I went ahead and did 4 eggs since that was all I had left and I didn't want a lone egg haunting my fridge, but I think next time I will try the recommendation to reduce it to 3 eggs since they were a bit cake-ier than I was looking for. (I like fudgy brownies, hence me deciding on this Fudgy Brownie recipe!)<br/><br/>Instead of nuts, I sprinkled 60% cacao Ghirardelli chocolate chips on the top of the batter -- soooo chocolatey! Baked in a glass pan and they were done right at 35 minutes. They came out looking very puffy, almost like a cake, but they settled back down after cooling so don't be too alarmed if you are anti-cakelike brownie -- they fudge up as they cool.<br/><br/>I used unsalted butter so no issues with saltiness. Nicely chocolatey (obviously mine were a bit moreso with the dark chocolate chips), like a really good box mix only better because it's from scratch!<br/><br/>Definitely a keeper recipe. Will never need a box mix again!

Excellent tasting brownies. I used self rising flour and baking soda instead of powder. I also only used 3 eggs. Baked for 33 minutes. Turned out moist and chewy. Will definitely make this recipe again.

These have become my "go to" brownies. I prefer dark chocolate, so I used Hershey's Dark coco powder and mixed a cup of Hershey's dark chocolate chips in the batter. I then swirled 1C peanut butter and 1C fluff and mixed that into the batter. (directions on how to swirl here: http://vanillakitchen.blogspot.com/2012/03/peanut-butter-and-fluff-swirl-fudge.html). Amazingly heavenly!

Perfect. I doubled the recipe and baked them in an 11x15 glass pan, so I baked them a little longer than the recipe suggested. Only used 6 eggs, as per the other reviews. Also used salted margarine (due to dairy allergies) and only a couple of pinches of salt, and they were exactly what I wanted! Fudgy, easy, and delicious - half the pan is already gone. Would definitely recommend.
