Made this recipe several times & it's always delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These brownies always turn out great - and it's they are so simple to make. I've made different variations which were good,... too. I replaced the chopped chocolate with white chocolate chips - that was really yummy. I added a couple tablespoons of instant coffee powder - that added a rich flavor. Read more

yummy!!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

okay so there still in the oven and i havnt tried them yet, but im a wierdo and usually make brownies more for the batter... eating than the actual brownies lol. so so far they have got a A from me. i do agree with some of the other reviews, its written very confusingly for someone who knows better than to "cook" your ingredients in baking. DO NOT DO IT!!! the saucepan and stove are strictly to melt the butter and nothing else, remove from heat and put into the mixing bowl or you will end up with some "goop" for a finished product. plus its waaaay easier to pop the butter in the microwave for a min or 2 than to get out a pan and all that junk.

Great Brownies!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these brownies on a hyper mood, since I can never cook without nearly burning the kitchen down.... They came out... amazing! They were moist and chocolatey-sweet...even my brother loved them, and he hates chocolate! I don't understand why other people didn't like it. I would have thought that if I can do it ( and I am NOT a chef), then most people cant too. Maybe you should try again.Read more
