Chewy fudge brownies
I followed the recipe exactly how it states on the box 2/3 cup vegetable oil, two large eggs, 3 tablespoons of water. The brownies taste like oil they’re disgusting and then I looked up other recipes and each other recipe states 1/3 cup vegetable oil. So obviously this must be a typo because the brownies taste too much like oil.

This is hands-down, my favorite brownie mix from a
They turn out perfectly chewy and fudgy every single time. The texture is soft in the center with just the right amount of crackly on top, and the chocolate flavor is rich without being overpowering.

Delicious, very recommended!!
Thanks to this I got a very easy way to make brownies, It’s the most delicious brand I’ve ever tried and my family loves it. I usually add a pinch of coffee so the flavor is more concentrated

You ruined them
I have been making these brownies for years. But the last two boxes have had a weird greasy texture and baked to an odd color. They are no longer chewy at all. Why did you ruin my favorite?

Best brownie mix ever
Best, best brownie mix, EVER !!! I've used this mix for sooo many years and it's the only one that I will buy. If my store doesn't have it, off I go to another . I've made it since before my son was born and he is now a dad and only buys this brand for his little guys. And the cookie recipe is awesome!

Oil
I bought this today and was so hyped for some brownies, but this wasn't it. I agree with some of the others when we say the changes are not too pleasing. Why so much oil? What happened to the texture? And for some reason, it took more time to cook than normal. The middle becomes mushy, the edges are hard and the amount of oil actually left my fingers greasy. It made me sick to my stomach.

Oh yuck!!!
It has been several years since I bought a box of the chewy fudge brownies. Since my kids used to love them, I bought a box. I was surprised to find the directions were different wirj a higher oil and lower water requirement, but I went ahead and followed the new directions. Yuck!! I put these in the 350 degree oven in my normal metal brownie pan. They used to be done in 23 minutes. I took these out then, and they were nearly raw in the middle. I put them back in oven for another 5 minutes, and they were no better. I did this two more times and after finally reaching the 38 minute mark, I gave up. The edges were overdone, and the middle was raw. I tried one and threw them away. Why do companies insist on “fixing” things that aren’t broken in the first place? I wasted money on three boxes of these. So disappointing!

Have the directions changed?
I bought this right before Christmas and my husband made them for a Christmas party at my work. They took forever to cook. When I looked at the box and saw that it called for 2/3 cup oil, I thought that was strange. I bought another box and made them yesterday according to the directions and they did the same thing. It took probably 35-40 minutes to cook in a 9 x 13 glass pan. This was way beyond what it called for and they didn’t turn out as expected. They still tasted OK, but were very thin. I think the directions on what to add has changed and it calls for way too much oil and too little water.

CAUTION: CAKE or BROWNIE mix?
I have bought this brownie mix repeatedly for years! People always eat them up eagerly and want another one. However, the box has the same top and title for both the BROWNIE mix and the CAKE mix. It practically takes a CLARIFY YOUR PACKAGING!!! One needs a MAGNIFYING GLASS to read on the box whether the mix is for BROWNIES or CAKE!!! I bought 4 boxes hoping to make brownies as gifts for Christmas but, instead, got CAKE mix instead of the BROWNIE mix I wanted. It was too late to return to the store to exchange my mix boxes. My friends got NO gifts at all because of your company's inadequate BOX title and designations. PLEASE change your boxes to make it clear which mix is inside!!!
