if your looking for an everyday run-of-the-mill cake-style brownie then pass this by, this is a a moist chewy extreme chocolate bakery-style brownie that takes little time to make and tastes even better the next day, it's everything a good brownie should be! --- I have even made these using half brown sugar and half white sugar, the amount of sugar listed will give you a sweet brownie you may reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup or more if desired or if you have a sweet tooth use amount stated --- add in a couple of tablespoons of coffee-flavored liqueur in place of the vanilla if desired — according to a reviewer oil may be used in place of the butter successfully --- these brownies freeze very well, they are so simple to make just mix everything by hand, they bake out so rich and sinful! --- see Kittencal's Chocolate Buttercream Frosting/Icing

I made these brownies today - mostly because I needed an excuse to make your recipe for Choc0late Buttercream - and they are DELICIOUS!! When my mom found out I was taking some to a friend, she told me that it would be better if I just brought more to her house - so I think she liked them too! Thanks so much!

EXTREME was definitely the right name for this brownie! Pure decadent chocolate fudgey flavor through and through : ) If you don't have an occassion to made this recipe, invent one, QUICK! This is an easy recipe with superior results! I did notice adding the flour, salt and baking soda was missing from the steps; I added them after mixing in the chocolate in step #5, only until blended. Don't forget to add in the second batch of 2 cups of chocolate chips!! I also added in about 1 ½ cups of well chopped walnuts. Kittencal, you out did yourself on this recipe : ) Thank you, thank you, thank you : )

Extreme indeed! I’ve tried a lot of brownie recipes over the years and my step-kids and DH always end up telling me the boxed brownies are better. I had given up hope and normally keep a box of brownies in the pantry. My DH was craving brownies and I didn’t have a brownie mix on hand, so I started searching for a new recipe to try. I came across your recipe in my cookbook and had all the ingredients on hand so I gave them a try. They were sweet, rich and moist – in my opinion – a perfect brownie! Mine turned out a little gooey in the middle, but that is my fault, as I think I should have baked them another 5 minutes or so. I halved the recipe and used Ghiradelli chocolate chips. My step son actually told me they were BETTER than the boxed brownies – and I have to agree! Thanks Kittencal for posting this wonderful brownie recipe!
