These turned out awful. I followed everything to a T and reduced oven to 325 and only baked for 30 minutes per everyone's comments below (50 minutes at 350 would have totally burned them). They came out totally cake like (nothing fudgy about them) and dry - like eating powder. 1 stick of butter is not nearly enough oil - should probably have at least 1/2 cup of oil added. I'm shocked this is a Marth Stewardt recipe - it was really bad.

I made this recipe with @Everydaybaker's alterations and I will never use another recipe! Super fudge and rich. I highly recommend it!

as ovens are different so time needed differs

Don't mix it more than needed for only combine AMD don't keep it In oven once u started to smell it as ovens

This recipe is awful. First the temperature is too high, the time is too long, but that's not the worst of it. There is too much sugar which makes the brownies chewy not fudgy. There is not enough coco the brownies just taste sweet not chocolaty. There is too much flour, again just rendering a not so chocolaty flavor. My recommendations would be lower temp to 325 bake for 30 min ( no longer), 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup coco

I think these would've turned out much better if I had baked them for only 30 minutes. Baking them for 50 minutes made them extremely dry. I would retry this recipe but definitely cut 20 minutes of the cook time.

Great, fudgy, wonderful recipe. Baked at 330 for 32 minutes. I highly recommend the lower bake time as indicated by other reviewers. :) These are great!

Deep chocolate taste. Per other comments, I baked for 35 minutes and while not dried out after this amount of time I feel they would have been better if taken out of the oven after 30 or 32 minutes.

The cook time is too long. I add carmel topping to the recipe, it makes then chewy not dry. I use a wire, like a cheese cutter to cut my brownies. I cut them when they are still warm, and there is no crumbling.

This is a great recipe! I like to add the cocoa to the semi-sweet chocolate and butter and blend the sugar with other dry ingredients. Then I add my melted chocolate to the dry bowl and mix with the eggs. I think it adds to the texture. I can not fit this recipe into a 9x9 though...I always use a 9x13. Happy baking!
