I make this recipe over and over for many different parties. Every potluck at work I am asked to make them. I have altered the recipe for low fat and it was still a hit.

Very good! I learned my lesson once again though... only use real butter! Otherwise, the brownies just kinda fell apart whenever I wanted to do something with them :( But the brownies were still excellent! I made them just in time for St. Patty's Day and they were a hit!
