  1. Arkady – my experience with Duncan Hines is that it’s too sugary, so when you cook them the sugar sorta carmelizes but not in a good way – sorta gives the sensation of stickiness on the teeth
    also with that S pan yikes- I HATE the edges – jeepies who likes the edges?

  2. Mmmmmmm, more edges!!!!! I never heard of using that type of pan, Arkady.

    If I think of it I’ll share my mother’s recipe with all of you tomorrow. Even better would be her recipe for blondies. It’s a very good one and it uses margarine!!!!

  3. Have you ever made them from scratch??? If they come from a box the only problem would be as Arkady said, the oven temperature is wrong…get one of those cheap metal thermometers that sits in the oven. Most grocery stores and hardware stores will sell them.

  4. Gem – I like Duncan Hines. A neighbor kid makes them once a week & even has one of those ridiculously expensive but wonderful pans that is sort of “S” shaped so you get more edges.

  5. Rob!

    you MUST only use vegetable oil
    ONLY use the Betty Crocker “Dark Fudge” Family Size brownie mix
    ONLY ONLY use a glass pan that is on the smallish side(little bigger than an 8×8)
    just cook it for about 30-34 mins
    I always throw in some walnuts and choco chips t

  6. Rob – You should get an oven thermometer – you’re probably cooking on too-high heat.
    m4L – I didn’t get the old-time reference. My ‘puter’s screwing around – maybe there was a tinyurl I don’t have?
