I have used this recipe for over15 years and it is always a winner. I will not eat any other brownie recipe except this one. I have split it in half for those who can not eat nuts. If I'm doing alot of baking I will putt the bowl with the first 3 ingredients in the bowl and place it on the stove above the out vent from the oven and when I'm ready to make them all I have to do is add the last ingredients. YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS RECIPE!
How can semi-sweet chocolate be substituted for unsweetened in this recipe? Thank you

I agree with the 2nd review. Made these with Baker's suggestion of 2 cups of sugar and they came out too sweet. One cup would be sufficient. The recipe is very easy though.

I totally disagree with the bad review the other person gave this recipe. 1 cup is the appropriate amount, 2 cups would be horrible. MAYBE 1¼, but certainly no more. This is my favorite brownie. Easy, quick, common ingredients, fast. How can you beat that? I've tried "fancy" recipes from Epicurious, Giradelli and so on, but to me, they just don't compare to these.
I believe that this recipe is misprinted. Should be 2 cups of sugar (as stated on the box of Baker's) rather than one. When made with just one cup, they're a flop.
