    What's the point of having a book club if you don't get to eat brownies and drink wine? — Jami Attenberg

    Anyone who tries to make brownies without butter should be arrested. — Ina Garten

    You would be amazed by what you can give up, lose, or break, and yet still be a person who gets happy over brownies.—Augusten Burroughs

    I've learned that you know husband still loves you when there are two brownies left and he takes the smaller one. — H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

      Nancy, I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Great idea for the frosting. I'm with you, I like about 1/2 but I like it the way you did it, making another batch. YES! Thank you so much!!

      I made these and took them to camp. Everyone loved them. I only used 1/2 the frosting and felt it was enough. Saved other half and used it on a second batch a few days later. Bonus for us. Thanks for this amazing recipe.

      Thank you for this brownie recipe!!! - I have been searching for a good one for a while now - and this is IT! Loved the soft moist fudginess! Had to revise it due to not having the right ingredients - used a couple scoops of peanut butter for the 2/3 cup of sugar (I never put the full amount of sugar in any recipe); ran out of cocoa so used nutella in place of it for the icing mix. Turned out well! I was rather dubious while I was mixing the brownie part - it put me in mind of mixing cement... I was completely bowled over at how great these turned out!!!!
      FIVE outta FIVE STARS!!!
