Honestly, after a year and half, I tried every recipe I could find and thought I found one recipe that was 4.5 stars. Came across this one by mistake and decided to give it a try. Should have tried this one FIRST!! This recipe is a keeper. The only change I made was that I used a 9 x 9 pan and omitted the chocolate chips and NO frosting. Next time, I will use a 8 x 8 pan for thicker brownies. Extremely easy to make and you won't go back to box brownies.

I subbed oil for butter and used extra dark cocoa powder for an adult party. Perfect dark chocolate brownies that weren't overly sweet. I will definitely make these again.
