These were very good brownies. They were dense, moist and chocolaty. I was a little unsure about only using 1/4 cup of flour and did add another 1/4 cup for a total of 1/2 cup. This only made the brownies a bit more cake-like (a bonus, in my opinion). I did include the nuts, as I like the texture and flavor that they add to brownies. Very easy recipe for ingredients I always keep on hand!

There were a few problems with this recipe, although they did taste OK. The #1 problem was that the batter wasn't even close to filling up my small brownie pan. I couldn't even spread it out paper thin, so I had to make an emergency 2nd batter, for which I had to send my husband to the store for more butter. When they were cooled, they cut nice but I thought they were a little too "wet" which I thought would happen because of the amount of flour. I think they needed more flour and some cocoa powder too. They needed more chocolate in general.... you could barely taste the chocolate flavor at all. While they did taste OK, it was more like a very sweet butter dessert than a chocolate dessert. The butter flavor was pretty major and definitely the dominant flavor in this dessert.

I also have this brownie recipe. I love these brownies because they are chewy and have a nice chocolate flavor without being too sweet. I've made these a few times - they are really easy to make and require only a few ingredients!

Deeee-lishious as my 2 year old would say! I didn't have baking chocolate so I used 6T cocoa and 2T butter instead. Still great.

Ahhh, these are so good!! Nice and chewy and you are right, not too sweet. Perfect! The only problem is I should have doubled the batch because I gave most of them to an elderly friend. (I did keep a few for myself Thanks kaylanave for sharing these.

I've made homemade brownies before, but never have they turned out this GREAT!!! These brownies have the most perfect consistancy. They have a nice top crust and are fudgy. Everybody I gave one to LOVED them! I put a Fudge Frosting on them after they cooled (Fudge Frosting). This definately satisfied my chocolate craving ^_^!!

These are my favorite childhood brownies; not too sweet and perfectly chewy. My hubby and three boys love them, too!
