Rich Chocolate Brownies
I'm one of those people who need chocolate on a regular basis. I looked high and low for a rich brownie recipe that called for cocoa instead of chocolate squares...and this is it. My family loves these brownies - they never last more than a day at our house. -Karen Trapp, North Weymouth, Massachusetts

These cake-like brownies are delicious
i love this recipe i took this to a birthday party and it was gone in two second i love tease of home
I got this recipe from Taste of Home many years ago, and it’s still one of my favorite brownie recipes!
These were great. Frosted and all. Although, honestly they are as much frosting as they are brownie. I made mine in a 9 x 9 instead of an 8 x 8, and it was plenty baked after 20 minutes. Made the brownies pretty thin. Very good though, and I may make again. Might try doubling the brownie part and make in a 9 x 13” pan.
This was a very easy and delicious brownie recipe, that is great for 2 people. I used Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder in both the batter and the icing. I did not use the coffee in the icing, but had to use an extra 1 tablespoon of warm water to make the icing smooth and spreadable. This is a keeper for a quick dessert.
Yummy! These brownies are moist and chewy with a great chocolate flavor. They were quick and easy to prepare. I only left out the coffee in the frosting because I didn't have any. I think they are great without it!
I made it and it was good!
Very good. I did not use the icing because I did not have the confectioners' sugar on hand, but added a few mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter. These satisfied my "need" for chocolate in a big way!.
I've made this recipe many times and it's absolutely awesome. No changes at all and it's easy peasy to make. The frosting is delicious and I also use it on a chocolate layer cake.....mmmmm!!! Cannot get the stars to rate, but it's a 5 star!!
Turned out more cake-like than in the picture, but still very good. I skipped the frosting to save on time, so can't really rate that part. I added about a 1/3 cup each pecans and chocolate chips to the batter to fancy it up a bit since I was skipping the frosting. Quick and easy, so you really don't need to buy a mix again!
