Mine's pretty much like quikk's too.

Sometimes I'll throw different flavored chocolate chips in (not too many because you don't want the flavor to be overpowering)

The key is definitely do not overbake.

I hate to say it, but I use the box. They've got some pretty good ones. Not worth the effort to do by scratch imo.

I make mine from scratch from an old kids cookbook my grandmother got me when I was 6 or 7. I'll have to find it so I can post the recipe. They are THE BEST brownies I've ever had and go even better with gooey chocolate frosting on top.

Do you like them Chewy or Cake like?

I like mine gooey. I've actually never found a better recipe than Duncan Hines Milk Chocolate Chunk, so I don't make mine from scratch.



LOL Same.

I've tried a variety over the years from scratch - nothing to me beats the Ghirardelli variety out of the box.

Not one person said to put any "special ingredients" in.

Surprising.

Thanks! I love old recipe books. My favorite is one made in 1952, it has instructions on building a food cellar and larding a roast.
