There's always a flurry of activity around the snack bar in my kitchen, especially when I set out a plate of these brownies. Topped with a fluffy chocolaty frosting, they really live up to their name.—Linda Hardin-Eldridge, Lake Alfred, Florida

Tip

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

The brownies are delicious! But the only problem is that they didn't set very well, and I had them in the oven way longer than the recipe called for..I cut them and they fell apart... But that is the only complaint... Just have to eat them with a fork instead;p

I have had these before and they are very delish...I make them for my grand kids and they actually help when they are with me.

Have not made these brownies and am perfectly happy to have people express their opinions, but maybe we could do it differently. Perhaps, we found them dry, or would not make them again because have other recipes that we like better or ??? what is wrong with people that they must get so aggitated over a recipe. A person that cooks often can read a recipe and decide whether or not they want to try it and if it sounds good. Decision was yours to try this recipe and make opinion known, but lets try not to make anyone sharing or liking a recipe feel like they are being attacked.

I agree with jblatter - not worth the trouble. I wouldn't even call them brownies - more like chocolate bars or something.

Don't know who named these, but I have tasted/made much better. Don't waste the time and money to make these.

Our family has been making these heavenly brownies for several years now. So decadently sweet. Getting ready to make them now.

I cooked these for the minimum time of 23 minutes, they were so dry you could hardly eat them. Brownies from [expletive] is more like it
