Ok, I’m a self-declared idiot when it comes to cooking and I lack the common sense most cooks would have, but even I didn’t think to cook the eggs on the stove as another review indicates! Incidentally, the first time I made the batter, I added the sugar on the stove while the heat was on very low to keep the butter melted because it was cold in the kitchen and I could see the butter getting solid again, but I mixed everything else in a mixing bowl. I don’t even like brownies and I made this for my husband, but I eat a piece here and there, and he usually finishes the whole thing gradually, or takes it into the office and comes back with everyone’s praises for my great baking skills. If only they knew how bad I really am! This recipe is great for people who are not experts. As someone else mentioned, you can always adjust the ingredients to taste and, for example, use less sugar. I personally use less chocolate than indicated so they don’t come out too dense.

What a rush...my class is making brownies in science to represent how a protein is made in a cell..good idea but her recipe sucks... i picked the whole batter (not much obviously, just a personal brownie and the whole thing came up and it looked like a tootsie role... it inspired me to make some when i got home...when my mom when to the doctors. She doesnt like sweet stuff in the house which is hwy i chose to make it then..i put white choc. pieces in instead because i think its an awesome blend....plus it was all that we had
