We live in the city—but, within just a block of our house, we can see cattle grazing in a grassy green pasture. It's a sight that I never tire of. As someone who grew up in the country, I love getting out in nature whenever I can.

This recipe has brought my family's enthusiasm for brownies to a whole new level. They are moist and tasty. I always use this recipe now!

Makes a beautiful thick brownie. Not too hard and not crumbly. I used Milk Choc Drops in the mix and no nuts, but still came out great.Took a good 40 -45 mins on 170 C in our oven, but well worth the wait!!

These brownies are great! I think this will be my go to recipe whenever I want to bake some brownies. They are fudgy and yummy! If you prefer a cake brownie, do not make this one! Next time, I will have to try one of the variations written here.

I just have to review these again--they are that spectacular. This was the first--and will be the last--from scratch brownie recipe I use. THE BEST. The person who reviewed them as bland and cakey obviously needs to try them over as something was done incorrectly. These are extremely dense and fudgy.

Threw this together really quickly...was surprised at how tasty it was. I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and replaced the vanilla extract with peppermint extract for a holiday twist. The girls and I frosted the brownies and topped it with crushed candy canes. Yum!!

I do not understand how anyone could call these cakey! They are very moist if you do not overbake them. I have been making these for many, many years and recipients always rave over them. I sometimes leave out the chocolate chips and the nuts, place a thin layer of mint frosting and then a thin layer of melted chocolate chips and butter for a glaze. Super Yummy! The dutch processed cocoa almost gives them a dark chocolate taste. Try them, you won't be disappointed!

Bland & cakey. How this won a contest is beyond me!I found this recipe to have a cake texture, which I really dislike in a brownie! I also found it quite bland. If you are looking for a delicious fudgy brownie,.. look up fudge brownie,.. the corresponding picture is a brownie that has a layer of nuts on top (I left all nuts out). No, I definitely would NOT make this again, I am not even going to try to "tweek" it as it was just not good.

I did these with dutch processed cocoa and Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Chips, without the nuts...an excellent brownie.
