These are excellent! Not only are they beautiful and easy to adapt to different preferences (nuts different flavor chips etc.) but they are also DELICIOUS. I gave out a bunch as gifts last year...everyone wanted the recipe and several of my gift recipients turned around and made some for their family and friends.
I decreased the salt to 1 tsp with no loss of taste. I also increased the semisweet chocolate chips to 3/4 cup and decreased the vanilla (white) baking chips to 1/4 cup. I had to bake mine 35 minutes for it to be done in the middle using an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.
We've used this recipe for years as a Christmas craft at our yearly homeschool craft day. Our recipe is the same except we use 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 cup white sugar. Friends/family have raved about this Christmas gift. We cut circles of Christmas material with crazy scissors wrap a rubberband around the base of the lid print baking directions on cardstock hole punch and tie ribbon with directions attached around the base of the lid. Enjoy! This one's a KEEPER!
There is too much salt in this and there isn't baking soda or powder listed. This must be an error. Think twice before you try this one!
Made delicious brownies. i only used 2/3 tsp of salt. I gave it out as gifts last Christmas and everyone raved about it.
not very good. Very salty.
thought the idea was great! i gave my mum one of theese on mothers day! yet to taste them!
We had a brownie bake-off & this recipe won hands down!!
These brownies are fantastic! Since we don't eat a lot of sugar they were very sweet to us. I reduced the salt to 1/2 tsp omitted the nuts used 1 cup semi-sweet chips omitting the vanilla chips. I think the oil could be reduced some as the mixture was very oily and when they were cut the bottom had beads of oil. I baked for 35 minutes in a 7x11 pan. I would use this recipe again! The mix in the jar fit perfectly in a wide mouth quart jar as the instructions suggest. After sitting for 3 days in the jar my brown sugar did clump but it was still soft enough to mash with my fingers. It's a cute and delicious gift that you can throw together very quickly and your recipient will be grateful!
