Super Brownies Recipe

Reviewed on May. 02, 2013 by lynmom51

To some of the comments saying the ingredients are to expensive to make these::: I would rather spend a "few" extra dollars to make a recipe that people just LOVE! This is what cooking is all about, making a quality brownie that EVERYONE wants the recipe!!! You get what you pay for and CHEAP is not what cooking is about

This is a yummy recipe. By using great chocolate and other ingredients...the best one can afford, the flavor is fabulous. This recipe is easy, fills the house with a great aroma while baking, and disappeared within minutes. Good desserts and treats can be expensive, however, with many recipes to choose from, one can find a baking project to match one's budget. And, I would not leave out ingredients when looking for great flavor or results...such as cutting down on the vanilla, etc unless that change is intentional and for a different desired result. I appreciate special recipes and some that are pricy might not get baked often, but when a special dessert is desired, such as for company, I appreciate extraordinary recipes that have ingredients such as macadamia nuts, etc. One can find an ordinary brownie recipe easily, I seek out these kinds of special recipes as I don't want to be an ordinary baker.

These brownies are terrible. If it wasn't for the fact that I substituted almond extract for the vanilla, there would have been no good flavor. All I can taste is sweetened flour and water. I was impressed at first at the amount of rise this had while baking, but as it cooled and I cut into it, I found the nearly 2" height was mostly an air bubble under the crust! Definitely WON'T be making these again. Yuck!

I haven't made these YET but I'm going to. The ingredients are similar to what I put in my White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. This has to be good. And I agree, if someone hasn't made it then they shouldn't post a review. If you have questions regarding a recipe, ask don't rate the recipe.

Made these for an Hawaiian themed party - delicious! Was asked for the recipe by many! To marian08 - why comment if you are have not tried the recipe? Don't understand folks like you who feel that they need to add their 2 cents' worth without even trying the recipe - it's not like you would be making these everyday so every once in a while, splurge! Geez......

This is also a lot of chocolate chips. This would turn out to be a very expensive brownie recipe. Think I'll pass on this one. It may be delicious but there are a lot of other delicious brownie recipes that don't use 5 t. of vanilla, 2 cups of nuts and 4 2/3 cups of choc. chips. with the price of food this one is just too expensive to make.

I haven't made this yet however one thing in the recipe is troubling me. 5 teaspoons of vanilla??? Is that correct. With the price of vanilla I don't think I would use 5 t. There must be a better way. Maybe 2 teaspoons and 1/2 to 1 t. almond extract. Has anyone tried it differently? I too would use walnuts as macadamias are quite expensive. thanks

I used walnuts since I was too lazy to look for macadamia nuts, and it they were really good!

The recipe looked wonderful. The batter tasted wonderful, but the brownies tasted and looked just like a boxed mix. I was very disappointed--especially for the fortune I spent on macadamia nuts and all the chocolate chips.

I love this brownie recipe. I have been making these since I received a free issue of Country Woman many years ago. I usually bake mine 45 min..

These are very rich and chocolatey. Macadamias are a nice addition. I baked mine for 50 minutes and that was plenty of time.
