To DECOY (and all): 5/8 cup is 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. Had to figure that one out myself!

Best brownies ever! is the regular reply I get with this recipe. I also changed the recipe to 1/3 cup oil, and found someone's calculation of 5/8cup = 1/2cup + 2Tbsp very helpful. This has become a regular on my gift giving list.

A chocolate lovers recipe for nirvana! Did this for a church bake & craft sale. Decorated the jar, put it on a tray and surrounded it with baked brownies. Did follow the advice of using 1/3 cup vegtable oil plus 2 tbs. of water. Advice: Tried it with 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips instead of 1/2 and 1/2 vanilla chips - DON'T. It was way, way to rich. The balance of chocolate and vanilla is perfect!

Okay, can someone tell me where on the measuring cup is 5/8? I am not good at math so I had a hard time figuring out what the exact flour measurement was. It sounds like I'm the only one. The brownies were okay, very sweet.

I gave this to a friend for a wedding shower present. Instead of putting it in a jar I put saran wrap in a 4 Cup measuring cut and put the ingredients in layers as directed. Then I gathered the saran wrap at the top and tied ribbons around it. Then I gave her a brownie pan and utensils. It went over very well, was cheap, easy, and unique.

YUMMY!! Excellent brownie recipe whether you make them as gifts or not. (I did make some as gifts and everyone loved them.) I baked them in an 8 inch square stoneware pan (Pampered Chef. I used 1/2 cup of oil and baked for 35 minutes. Mmmmmm mmmmm. Oh, and when the brown sugar gets dry/hard in the jar, stick it in the microwave with a damp paper towl over the open top of jar and zap for a short time (not too long... don't melt the chocolate chips).

Beautiful presentation in the jar! Very good taste. I agree with others that 2/3 c. oil is too much. I tried the recipe with 1/3 c. oil and it's ok. Personally, I liked it made with 1/2 c. oil, and baked it for 28-30 min. for a chewy texture.

I gave these to my children's teachers for Christmas. I added a wooden spoon from the dollar store and I did it all up with ribbon. They loved it. I also gave one to the principal and vice principal where I work. I added the wooden spoon but also a pyrex baking dish. Everyone who saw it was very impressed. The only difficulty I had was getting everything in and not all over the sides.
