I am a seasoned baker, but I have never been successful with Brownies. But with this recipe, not only was I successful, I found it to be the best tasting Brownie I have ever tasted. I cannot believe how easy and economical it is to make. Move over Brownie box mixes!!!

This is absolutely the very BEST brownie recipe I've found and I've been cooking since I was 8...and that is a long time. Moist and fudgy and that is even without the icing. I even cut back to 1 12 sugar, used sunflower seeds for the nuts and my family stills raves about them.

Great easy brownies. I used 1/2 cup real butter and 1/2 cup maragine and baked for 25 minutes in starware bake ware. I will use this recipe over and over!
