  1. JMom REVIEW:

    These were very tasty. Hubby and daughter gobbled them up. I added choc. chips as well as some toffey bits to the top. I wouldn't call these brownies though. It was more of a cake than brownies. When I make this again, I will definitely add an extra 1/4 c. of cocoa powder. They were a little light on the chocolate flavor for my liking. Over all, very good for a quick & easy last minute dessert fix.

  2. Taylor REVIEW:

    These were Excellent! But, you should cook for a full 20 minutes and when you take them out, the batter takes a long time to cool. The brownies may shift in the pan when you take them out because they just have not cooled. Once cooled, they are yummy melt in yur mouth brownies! i topped with home made fudge and sprinkles. Delish! <3 (: -Taylor
