  1. I made these. I should have taken them out at 28 minutes though the edges were a wee bit crunchy. This is a great recipe. I doubled it and made in a 9x13 pan ???? I added skor pieces and peanut pieces on my side I was going to throw them under broil with mini marshmallows on top but I'll undercook them a bit next time to do that

  2. This is a 5 star recipe just the way it is.

  3. These are incredibly good!! I make two changes to the recipe. First, I make my brownies gluten free using Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix instead of flour. Lastly, I use a 4oz dark chocolate bar (Ghiradelli, 60-100% cacao) and melt it with the stick of butter with a double boiler on the stove. They are incredible. I usually top them with whipped cream and raspberries. Almost tastes like a chocolate cake.

  4. Just made these brownies and they're delish! (: They are lovely and gooey which i think is the best part of brownies. I might try them with a bar of chocolate next time (: Thanks for this recipe. x

  1. My grandma, Cleo, made these brownies and I remember the day in her coffee smelling kitchen when she scrawled the recipe for me on a recipe card from her over flowing recipe box. She got it from her Mom and knew it by heart. I wonder who came up with this recipe? Anyone know the history?

&#9829;I live in Tennessee where I am a full-time nursing student. This past May 2006 I finally graduated after 4 long years of college with my Associate Degree in Nursing. It is great to know that I can be a part of something so important. For fun, I like to jog, swim, hike,(basically anything outdoors), cook and read. There is just something about cooking that is relaxing, dontcha' think? My favorite cookbook is the Betty Crocker cookbook. My passions are my boyfriend of 6 years, Benjamin, my 2 baby kittens: Midoria (Middy for short) - she is 6 years old; and Ki-Ki - he is 4 years old...but they are both still kittens to me. They are the foundation and true essence of my life. I thank God everyday that I have been so blessed to have them in my life. My pet peeves are mean people.Here is a pic of my little KiKi B.B.&#9829;:<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kiki16.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>KiKi on his cat tree :] &#9829;&#9829;&#9829; :]<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/keeks4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>Here is a pic of Middy&#9829;:<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/brat4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>This is me and my baby!!&#9829;<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/brightcont.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/christmas2006antiqued.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>This is when the kitties opened their new cat condo present on Christmas day!!<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/newcondo2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>Here is my little kiki kitten again!!&#9829;<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/perfectface.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>Here is KiKi trying to get Middy on the new condo!! :] &#9829;<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kikismack.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>&#9829;I love my little babies!!&#9829;Here is a recent pic of the lil' babbies having a kitten disagreement&#9829; :]<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/kikimiddy/kikmid1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>&#9829;such cuties!!&#9829;.&#9829;.&#9829;.&#9829;.<b>Favorite Cookbooks:<li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/37901">Make Your Own "Meat"</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/48016">Get Fit!</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/54255">My Little Tofu Cookbook</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/41407">Yummy Vegetarian Dishes</a></li><li><a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/32254">Simple</a></li>.&#9829;.&#9829;.&#9829;.<a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1880156&c=5640781" alt="Web Counter Code"></a><a href="http://www.1-coupons.com/coupons/overstock.htm"></a>
