Best I ever had!!!!July 13, 2008By raggedy44
"I typically do not like brownies from scratch, but was craving chocolate and didn't want to leave the house today. I had all the ingredients at home, so my daughters and I made them. The batter alone was delicious. After they cooled and we tried them, OMG.....I wanted to eat the whole batch! They were not that icky sweet, even with the frosting. No more boxed for us!"
