I have made these brownies twice. They were a big hit. I doubed the revipe and baked them in a Pampered Chef large bar pan, taking out about 2 cups of the batter to prevent over-filling the pan. I also reduced the cooking time to closer to 30 minutes, rather than 40-45. Made cream cheese frosting. Yummy!

i followed the recipe and directions to a T (i did make my own frosting though, so much better than store bought) & was not impressed. this turned out like a slightly (only slightly!) denser sheet cake than "fudge brownies". it did get eaten (obviously when you have a sweet tooth husband and two little boys anything with frosting is going to get eaten eventually!), but im giving this a low rating because if you didn't know it was supposed to be brownies you would think it was a simple sheet cake that didnt rise. i wouldn't make this again.

I have to agree.....followed directions precisely and they are nothing like brownies....more cake like consistency. I didn't think it was all that moist either. Would have been better to just make the cake mix according to its directions. Not impressed.....won't be making again either.

For a variation on this, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the dry mix, omit the chocolate chips and substitute lightly toasted pecans for the walnuts. Frost with 1/2 batch of the Cream Cheese Frosting typically used to make a Red Velvet cake.

Outstanding. Used white chocolate chips and omitted the nuts.
