Confused in Atlanta Dec 16, 2009
Would make this again.
Why is flour on the recipe twice? I'm confused. I assume there are two layers of flour, but perhaps the instructions should be a little more clear there since it looks like a typo or something. Rating as a 3 since I haven't made them yet.

RESPONSE: You have to split up the flour to make it look pretty in the jar! three stars

Generally I don't like brownies from a mix because I find ones with cocoa powder instead of melting chocolate in a double boiler tend to be on the dry side. These ones are pretty good, probably because the two types of chips compensate for the lack of melted chocolate in the mix. four stars

I made these as a cheap gift for my moms club. Little did I know, moms are suckers for homemade gifts! They all loved how cute the jars looked. I had to try the recipie out too and it's fantastic. I know what the moms club is getting next year! I'll have to teach the kids how to say "more brownies, please" five stars

I made these to give out as Christmas gift, but when I made them myself they came out really gooey. I used the right amount of everything, and they still didn't come out quite right. Cooked them a little longer and ended up over baking them, but hey, they still taste yummy! three stars

I tried this recipe last year for the girls at the office and it was a big hit. I didn't know how good they were until I made mine. On a rating of 1 to 5 I give it a 10. Everyone wanted the recipe. five stars
