Hello! I just stumbled across your blog when looking for a new pumpkin biscotti recipe. The fact that you called Chris Kimball a douche in your “About” section made me laugh out loud and think that we would be friends. Beautiful site.
As for brownies, I love the recipe that’s on the inside of the Baker’s unsweetened chocolate box, with some chocolate chips thrown in for good measure. Simple and delicious.

I have been enjoying your blog a lot! Lately I have been obsessed with finding a chewy brownie recipe and the closest I’ve found so far is the Nestle’s Chewy Cocoa Brownies. I will give one of these a try next though. Awesome post!

howtoeatacupcake – If you thought the CI brownies were too fudgy, I’ll be very interested to hear what you think of Ina’s brownies. I’m pretty sure they were the fudgiest of the these three (or would have been, had the Baked brownied been baked).

” I often hear people say that they’ve never had homemade brownies better than a boxed mix, and that I don’t understand at all. ” I agree! My mom thinks box mix brownies are the end-all be-all of brownies… I’m starting to think she just doesn’t like the flavor of REAL ingredients… ??? Lol

Thanks for this brownie comparison. Even though there were a few inconstincies, it still gives me a good idea of how the other brownies will turn out. I made the CI brownies last week, and I thought they were way too fudgey for my taste. I might try the Ina’s and reduce the coffee.

I love it that you did this comparison. I think you’ve saved us a lot of time, I think I’ll make Ina’s brownies and cut back on the coffee.

When I made the Outrageous Brownies my boys raved about them. I did like the coffee flavor. Now I will try CI brownies. They look good as well. I love the idea of doing a comparison test.

New to this site! LOVE IT! I agree with many of your comments… Brownies rule. I prefer homemade (any recipe) over box, any day. But box is okay, when in a pinch.

Seriously, LOVE your site!

I’m totally craving brownies now. You should give the KA Flour recipe a try – I used to be one of those “box-is-best” people until I discovered King Arthur’s recipe…now I’ll never go back!
