You bet they are! Hershey’s struck a home run with their Perfectly Chocolate Cake, and I am again impressed with their famed brownie recipe. This was actually the second time I have made this recipe, but they disappeared so fast the first time that I didn’t get a chance to take a picture!
I admittedly don’t have a lot of experience with homemade brownies, but these were dense and fudge-like – the perfect brownie by my standards!

Sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar if you want to make them decorative…
Love you!

You may certainly link back to my blog – I would greatly appreciate it! As for cookies recipes, check out the “cookie” tag on the right – there are some in there. A few have tried my most recent chocolate chip creation and have raved! Enjoy!
Try the Barefoot Contess’a brownie recipe. It can rival any brownie recipe out there. It is the best!!
I keep tryin to bake brownies but they never come out as they should… I can never seem to know when they are ready :S any tips/advise u can provide? thanks in advance
Hi Carla,
It really depends on the specific recipe, but the biggest thing is not to overbake them. You want to take them out when there are still some wet crumbs left on a toothpick inserted in the center. Good luck!
