Best brownies ever! I didn't have the baking chocolate squares but substituted 3 tablespoons baking cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon margarine for each ounce of baking squares. Melted all the margarine together and added the cocoa powder with the flour to mix.Also I only beat the mixture for 5 minutes. Very fudgy. Read More

My kids love this recipe! This was the first "from scratch" recipe I'd attempted. I will never go back to boxed mixes! My kids wouldn't allow it!! By the way 20 minutes isn't enough to thoroughly cook the mixture. I go about 30 minutes. A more experienced cook might suggest the "toothpick inserted comes out clean" test. Read More
