I thought this recipe, as written, was just okay. Maybe they would be greatly improved when you start adding things, but they weren't sweet or moist enough plain for our family's taste, and the consistency wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, either. Just a little too far on the cakey/dry side.

Absolutely delicious! For some reason, I don't really like the taste of baking cocoa. I will try this recipe again, altering it to melted bittersweet/unsweetened chocolate instead of the baking cocoa. I'll let you know how that goes! Also, I found that 1 1/2 cups for a double batch was PLENTY enough mix-ins, although this would be to taste. These still deserve a five-star rating without doubt!--------------------------------------- I made these again (and again and again and again), and I think that using the best baking cocoa you can find really makes a difference. I use Ghirardelli, instead of using Hershey, Nestle, or generic cocoa, although more expensive, it's definitely worth it. Also, I halved the vanilla amount and they still taste wonderful.

These brownies are AMAZING!! They were so moist and perfect, i got loads of compliments on them! I actually added a CHEESECAKE to them- 8 oz of cream cheese, 1 egg and 1/2 c sugar. I put it on top and swirled it in. +A!! Thanks!

Oh,,boy! Our new "favorite brownie" recipe!! It sounded so good I knew with the grandkids here I'd better make a double batch...glad I did! Followed the recipe exactly and my add in's were Reese's Peanut butter chips and mini-marshmellows. This is really soooooooo good, a chocoholic's dream!! I actually hid the pan so they wouldn't eat them all! I used a 9 x 13" pan for the double batch and it took about 5 min. longer to bake. Very moist and chewy. Thanks so much Karen,,this is a real keeper Kitty
