      Yay! Thank you so much for trying them Lynne and for the compliments! WOW, you just made my day, seriously!!!

    2. Lynne says

      I made these to take to my 85 year old aunt's house for the weekly visit we have with her, my mother, my cousin and a close friend of the family. I wanted to bring a dessert but didn't really have anything around the house. After a quick internet search, I decided on this recipe. I followed it to a T with one boo-boo. I flip-flopped the combining of the buttery mixture to the dry ingredients. I really don't believe it changed the way it baked or tasted because the brownie came out perfect and tasted amazing!! We were all impressed with it. I will definitely be keeping this recipe and making them again. Thank you!

      So happy you thought they were so good Tiggy! I love the idea of the Himayalan salt and the peanut butter is always a great option! You can always add less sugar next time as well. Thank you so much for your feedback!! xo

    17. tiggy rose says

      February 27, 2021 at 7:08 pm

      These brownies were so good! They cooked in the recommended time, which isn't common in the past recipes I have used, so kootos for that. They were pretty sweet, so before i out them in i put some Himilian sea salt which evened out the taste. I think peanut butter would also be good to out on after they come out. Lots of thanks! my household loved them! 😍🍫

      February 08, 2021 at 8:12 am

      I would triple it for thicker brownies, for thinner, double recipe. Baking time will increase for thicker brownies.

    23. Sabrina says

      February 07, 2021 at 6:24 pm

      Can I make these brownies in a sheet pan? If so, would I double or triple the recipe?
      Thanks!

    24. Kim Lange says

      January 30, 2021 at 12:09 pm

      Those are the most awesome, coolest comments ever! 🙂 Thank you so much for trying them Bonnie and I am so honored that you want to save the recipe! Makes my day for sure! I love the Reeses and salt! YUM!!

    25. Bonnie says

      January 29, 2021 at 7:24 pm

      So easy and so good. (Takes maybe 10 minutes to put together.) My kids went CRAZY for them. Their comments were "heaven", " a million out of a million" and " everytime you make brownies, make these." I didn't have vanilla either of the 2 times I made them so I added a tsp of instant coffee. The second time I made them, I put reeses pieces on top and sprinked a bit of sea salt on top before popping them in the oven and they were the best! I think it's a really durable base recipe that you can add whatever you want and it will still amaze people. (My favorite is the salt on top.) I'm saving this recipe for the next family or school event. Thank you!

    26. Kim Lange says

      January 28, 2021 at 8:19 am

      January 22, 2021 at 10:39 am

      Awesome with ice cream I'm sure! Thank you so much for trying the recipe Anthony! That makes me so happy!

    29. Anthony says

      January 21, 2021 at 7:35 pm

      First time making them from scratch and they smell amazing and the batter tasted great!!! Getting ready to devour them with some vanilla bean ice cream.

    30. Crimson says

      January 13, 2021 at 2:37 pm

      I made these for my boys and they absolutely loved them. I have a red copper brownie pan and its pretty big so I doubled your recipe and they came out perfect. Will definitely be making these again!

    31. Kim Lange says

      December 29, 2020 at 8:34 pm

      Delicious! I normally use a box and was out so I decided to make homemade for the first time. These were great! I loved that the ingredients were all things I already had in my kitchen. I’ve made them twice now (in One week 😜). The first time I used regular unsweetened cocoa because I didn’t read her recommendation. The second time I used dark but cut the sugar down to 1 cup. There’s nothing wrong with the original amount; it was just a little too rich for me because I tend to eat a lot at once. So good! They remind me of the ghirardelli brownies. My husband is super picky and he loves them!

    34. Kim Lange says

      December 06, 2020 at 10:06 am

      I'm so happy your tried them and found them easy to make! I love your description 🙂
      You son and husband have good taste! Happy holidays to you and your family Sara! Thank you!

      December 05, 2020 at 9:39 pm

      My 6 year old wanted to make brownies tonight after dinner. I didn'thave any box mix on hand. This recipe was great because I had everything I needed in my pantry. It was easy to follow. My 6 year old and 3 year old both enjoyed helping me make these brownies. They came out amazing!! My husband loves brownies and he said these were better than any box mix he's had. They were fudge, yet crunch on top. Absolutely my favorite brownies mix and will now be my go to.

    36. Kim Lange says

      November 27, 2020 at 3:00 pm
