1/22/2013I baked these for a scant 30 minutes and they turned out perfect. Please wrap carefully as they do dry out fast. My grandchildren are addicted to "box" brownies and they voted this recipe hands-down superior. I also thought they were delicious and very easy to make.

1/7/2013I just made these, perhaps the first brownies I've made in my life? Really easy to make and absolutely delicious. Dense, chewy. A 5-star recipe!

1/5/2013Excellent!... after reading reviews I also added instant coffee, but only 1/2 t, I also added 1 t cinnamon, which is my secret to fabulous chocolate frosting so thought it might be good in these brownies... the whole thing is easy and delicious...you must try this.

11/19/2012These were good, looking for a gooier, crisp crust brownie...nayloves2cook - would love your recipe for the brownies mentioned in your review

9/17/2012this is my go-to recipe for brownies! i don't know how many times i've made this recipe (10-20 times?)- but it turned out awesome every. single. time! i've actually got a batch baking in the oven right now! :)

8/10/2012I found this brownie to be good, but not very chocolatey and perhaps a little to sweet. It's no match for my all time favourite brownie recipe which consists of a chewy crust, fudgy inner, and gooey centre with a thin, flaky top and white chocolate chunks randomly scattered through!! Unbeaten so far!!

4/1/2012I baked the brownies with 180C and about 35 minutes, it turned out good but slightly hard. How can I make it moist?.

3/11/2012I've been on a quest to find the perfect chewy brownie recipe for years, and I've finally found it here! These are moist and chewy with a slight crispiness on the top, and the crunchy corners I love. That being said, I made one change to perfect the recipe: Using all bittersweet chocolate made them a little sweeter, which we like, and also produced the shiny, crispy top surface I was looking for. My husband questioned this quest at first, insisting that a certain boxed brand was very good, so why bother? He has since changed his tune, recently posting this on my G+ page where I mentioned this recipe: "Although I really enjoyed the quest for the perfect brownie, this is the peak. Definitely the best we've tried, and so much better than box brownies." Hurrah! Win for me, and for made-from-scratch cooking!

2/23/2012Very easy to make. I found the batter to be too thick at first, which worried me, but they turned out fine. I baked them for 25 minutes in a convection baked oven.

2/22/2012What happened? I followed the recipe and directions to a T. They came out flat :/ maybe the Sugar I used was too corse? It was refined cane sugar. If there is any one out there with suggestions I'd appreciate it.

9/5/2011I would give this recipe more stars if I could. It was great!!!
by melissatsang,
2/10/2011Exactly what I was looking for. A deep chocolatey flavor, a chewy, box-brownie texture, and the lovely flakey top.
My search for the perfect brownie is over. This one's a keeper.

2/2/2011I have spent every day this week trying out different brownie recipes from popular food blogs and recommended sites... finally, I have found the one I have been looking for. These brownies are moist, full in flavor, and most importantly, they have that wonderful CHEWY texture! All of the previous recipes I have tried claimed be for "chewy" brownies, but were too fudgy and dense for my liking (delicious in their own right, but just not what I was looking for). This recipe stays true to that wonderful chew of box brownies, with a richer, more refined flavor. There is even that nice flaky layer on the top of these brownies that has been hard for me to get with other recipes. To top it all off, this recipe is so easy and simple.
Woooo that was wordy, but I'm just so ecstatic that I found this recipe.

12/22/2010Wow. These brownies are amazing.I can't bring myself to stop eating these.

10/29/2010This has been my standby brownie recipe for years. I have tried many, many recipes, and this is my hands-down favorite.
by happypanda,
4/30/2010I really wanted this to work, but mine just came out all wrong, only the top cooked, and then separated from the rest of the brownie, so when I cut it, it all fell apart. I put it back to try to cook it more as the inside was liquid, but even after an hour it wasn't cooking. What did I do wrong?
by chefchick,
9/7/2009Ohh, perfect, perfect, perfect! I've been trying different recipes for years; and this one is IT. Not too sweet; perfect chewiness. Terrific!
by chocolatelover60,
7/23/2009found this recipe today and it was so easy to do. the results were SUPERB. My 10year old daughter absolutely loved the brownies. We had them warm with cream on top and it was amazing. Will definately use this recipe again and again. This is the ultimate brownie,chewey, chocolatey recipe. We put chopped up chocolate buttons in the mix and used galaxy dark choc with some milk choc and worked a treat.

7/19/2009This is a very good recipe and will be the one I make for from now on. They are really chewy and chocolatie. The best I have tried in a long time. I added a tsp of instant coffee to strengthen the chocolate flavor. Got the 5* in my book.

6/6/2009We had a brownie taste testing last night, while this recipe came in 3rd overall it's still my favourite. It did get slightly under-cooked, but it made it more fudgy than chewy in my books. Of the two recipes that tied for first place one was much richer/sweeter/more undercooked and the other baked a little more for a better/chewier texture. I don't think I'd change this recipe at all.
by MHarris,
2/9/2009These brownies are THE perfect consistency - a little fudgy without being too toothsome.
by emcooks,
1/1/2009I followed the recipe exactly. They came out chewy, moist and very chocolatey. Be careful not to overbake; check for doneness after about 30 minutes. Delicious served with a little vanilla ice cream!
by semisweet,
7/19/2008Sheer perfection - moist and chewy with a deep, dark chocolate taste. They're great both at room temperature and chilled. (I always bake these for less time than indicated, about 32 minutes in a metal pan).
by Pielove,
4/28/2008This is the brownie recipe I have been searching for-- great texture, intense chocolate taste.
by jkeane,
4/18/2008Rich chocolate flavor but not to sweet. I added semi-sweet chips as well. Delicious.
by KatyaKJ,
4/5/2008This recipe is perfect. The brownies came out so well. I have never made brownies from scratch before and can't believe how delicious they are. thanks!
