This does NOT (!!!!!!) work. Don't even try. Followed instructions completely, and what do I end up with?!?!?!?!? A freaking gooey mess in my microwave! It was EVERYwhere. Even though I used a cover, it still came out sloppy, and overall just gross! This recipe did not work, so much I said it twice, DO NOT TRY IT!!!! >:C

Made these as written. Microwaved for 5 minutes in a 1300 watt microwave, and they came out perfectly. Makes about 5/8"-thick brownies in an 8x8 in. pan. More fudge than cake, but an excellent last-minute snack for brownie cravings.

I made these yesterday on a whim. More out of curiosity. Everyone loved them. I did use milk chocolate chips thats all I had and a little butterscotch chips. These will be great for a last minute snack to pack in lunches or when my husband says there is nothing to snack on. Thanks so much for posting!

These were great brownies! So surprising that they are one-pan, microwave easy! I halved the recipe with good results. These are ingredients I always have on hand, so now I can make a sweet treat last minute without making a huge batch of something. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Well what do you know, it works! I never thought you could make such a great baked treat in the microwave! I had to make this 3 times tho. The first two times they over "baked" a whole lot. My microwave must be super powered or something haha. About 2 minutes or so did it for me. Also these were extremly fudgy, not ver cake like at all. So if you are looking for an intense chocolate fix these are fo you!
