These brownies are definitely GREAT. I LOVE fudgey brownies, and my husband likes it somewhere in the middle.. this brownie is the perfect balance. This almost identical to the "Best Brownies" recipe on the site, except without vanilla. Also, the "Best Brownies" recipe calls for baking soda, this does not. I prefer this recipe because by not adding baking soda, it makes for a "fudgier" (is that a word?) brownie. Now, if I only I didn't gain weight from eating the whole pan! lol

Not the best, but not the worst. They could stand to be a little more chocolatey. I like my brownies to be more fudgy than cakey, but perhaps they would've been better if I had used all purpose flour. Overall not bad.

other highly rated recipes on this site are better...

My dad absolutely LOVED this!!!!! I made them with individual baking shapes and he ates 4 out of 5 of them!!! He kept saying how good they were. And easy to!!! Will make again. THANX! UPDATE:: Made again, STANDING OVATION FROM EVERYONE!!! So pretty much I'll be using this one from here on out. Winner every time!!! My dad was eating this over his dinner..lol

I didnt think they were the best. they tasted to "cocoa-y" I like real chocolate in my brownies!

This is an update to my first review. I did not use self rising flour the first few times we made these, however, this time I used part all purpose and part self rising and they were MUCH better this way! Love these, they are our only brownies now!

Everyone loved the brownies!! Thanks!

These are fantastic! I used all-purpose flour b/c I don't like cake brownies and they are sooo good. I'll definitely make them again!

I didn't have any walnuts, so I made them without and they were still delicious! I brought them to work and they were gone in a flash. I recommend you make these on a Sunday and bring them to the office Monday morning. They are too tempting to keep at home!

I don't usually have self-rising flour so I used all-purpose flour adding the conversions. I, also, substituted the white sugar with brown sugar. Since I did not make it the why it was listed, I can not say mine were better but they were the best home-made brownies I ever eat. Very light in texture and taste. I took them to a tail-gate party and everyone loved them. The brownies have been requested for our 4th of July party.

Very good and moist. I took them out before totally done so were moister. Liked but have had some others that I like just as well.

I'm giving this full marks, because if i was able to make them properly they would have been fantastic. it was really quick to mix together and wasnt long til i popped it in the oven, putting it on top grill!! which resulted in my 'brownies'baked to a crispy crunch on top and a sticky chocolatey pudding thingy at the bottom. if i had put the oven (which i've never used before) correctly they may have come out fantastic. i didn't have walnuts so just added some crushed peanuts instead. it was still fine. Fiance liked it though.. he thought it was some sort of chocolate pudding.. oh well better luck next time!

Good brownies, but I found them to be too cakey for my liking. I would make this again if I wanted cake-like brownies.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BROWNIE RECIPE.I MADE THIS 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY AND ADDED DIFFERENT CHIPS AND NUTS AND IT STILL TURNED OUT VERY GOOD.

Thanks for posting this. This was the best brownie recipe I've ever tried. I'll never use a box mix again!
