Hershey’s brownies

I’ve been craving brownies a lot recently. It didn’t help that I somehow screwed up making brownies with my Ghiradelli brownie mix. I don’t even know how I messed up. So I decided to make some brownies from scratch with an easy recipe.
I’m still searching for a recipe that is both chewy and fudgy. I’ve gotten a couple of suggestions and I plan on trying them out really soon. For these brownies, I used Hershey’s Best Brownies recipe. It was easy to follow and the brownies came out very fudgy but they weren’t very chewy.
I used a smaller baking pan than recommended so that I could get big fat brownies.

- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares and serve.

I have been using this recipe for 30 yrs and it is always a hit. To make it extra special, I do modify it by adding nuts etc… When family and friends visit, they always request my home made Brownies thanks to Hershey. I always use Hershey Coco powder. You can’t improve on perfection.
We’re so glad you love this recipe! The addition of nuts sounds great.
If need to add walnuts how much must I use
We haven’t tested this recipe with walnuts so we’re not sure but would suggest adding to taste! Let us know how it turns out.
I’ve made these so many times now. They’re so good and I get asked to make them now all of the time. I add a little espresso powder in the mix and chocolate chips on top before throwing them in the oven. So good!!!
Yum, that sounds delicious! We’re so glad you enjoy this recipe!
I love this recipe and have used same recipe since I was 6 yrs old! My brother would pay me to make them for me!
We’re so glad you loved this recipe!!
I only rate recipes that I make exactly how it says, if I alter it at all it isn’t fair to rate a recipe as it just became mine and therefore giving someone less than 5 star wouldn’t be fair. I made this exactly how it says and omg it earned its 5 star. My 11 yr old son’s eyes bout popped out of his head lol. Super easy and yummy! The only negative thing is there all gone already lol.
We LOVE to hear that! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Looks delicious. So simple to prepare. Kids will love it.
