I thought boxed brownies were going to be my M.O., but these were so much better and kind of fun to make. The cool, not-too-sweet topping balances the sugariness of the bottom layer and is easier to make than chocolate frosting because there's no sifting involved. I actually think the top layer in this recipe is just better than frosting. The bottom part is pretty much the best brownie I've ever had (and believe me, I have eaten quite a few brownies). I couldn't make them look like the picture, though. I had the topping everywhere, including my jeans, when I was done arranging them on a pretty platter. It was not at all firm-looking, but looked like chocolate-flavored Cool Whip.

These are very rich, but SO good. Definitely a nice change of pace from frosted boxed brownies. I always get compliments (and come home with an empty pan) when I take these to potlucks!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"07\/28\/2010 20:15","GUID":"D9CC6B4A4C3E12BEB10DC77CA979DB0E","MemberId":158441,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sladphie","SubmittedDate":"07\/28\/2010 20:15"},{"Comment":"
Excellent! I thought boxed brownies were going to be my M.O., but these were so much better and kind of fun to make. The cool, not-too-sweet topping balances the sugariness of the bottom layer and is easier to make than chocolate frosting because there's no sifting involved. I actually think the top layer in this recipe is just better than frosting. The bottom part is pretty much the best brownie I've ever had (and believe me, I have eaten quite a few brownies). I couldn't make them look like the picture, though. I had the topping everywhere, including my jeans, when I was done arranging them on a pretty platter. It was not at all firm-looking, but looked like chocolate-flavored Cool Whip. Anyway, if you love chocolate, don't pass this recipe up!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/31\/2009 23:32","GUID":"5c09928043df46a6bed3b541a09480cd","MemberId":4210811,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"summer888","SubmittedDate":"12\/31\/2009 23:32"},{"Comment":"
Made these for a party today. SO rich and SO delicious! Trust me...these are FAR superior to any box brownie mix, and are well worth the effort. Don't skip the step of lining the pan with foil. This way you can remove the whole brick of brownies fromt the pan, frost them, and cut them with a pizza cutter.<\/p>
Perfect!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"","GUID":"04d3259212d0497a86b091ae64e06412","MemberId":4315427,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"kightlis","SubmittedDate":"08\/08\/2009 22:12"},{"Comment":"
This is one of my 2 favorite brownies recipes. The only problem is I can't stop eating these until they are gone. The frosting is great, and so simple.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"07\/09\/2008 12:01","GUID":"29a1223b1ba446ed95d270007e415738","MemberId":3226740,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"KathyJ0205","SubmittedDate":"07\/09\/2008 12:03"},{"Comment":"
