Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Is there a way of making the exact same great tasting ooey gooey Brownie without eggs? I’ve tried and failed so many times. Some one is allergic to eggs in the family and I can’t seem to figure out the right combination.
So far I’ve had liquid brownies (Thrown away) or chocolate cake.
Sorry we can’t help you with this, we have only made these brownies as directed in the recipe.
My family never gets tired of brownies. Each time, we make them a different way and they are all a big hit!
are there equally good desserts as your chocolate brownies without chocolate that are available suggestions please. I keep getting emails sent to me with chocolate or cocoa
mentioned i have a family member that can;t stand chocolate or cocoa .
Go to the homepage of our blog and click on Recipe Index. Then click on Brownies/Bars. You can scroll through a lot of brownies and bars, and not all have chocolate.
I love all of your recipe’s. the more chocolate and gooey they are the better we like them. keep up the good work you do best.
ps if people don’t like chocolate leave it out, don’t like eggs use egg beaters.
hi, all your recipes are awesome. i just want u to guide me about what can i use as a substitute for marshmallows? i cant find marshmallows in shops near my home.
Is there an error in the frosting? I made this as directed and the frosting was liquid and there is no measurement for the cocoa powder.
How much cocoa powder should be added to the frosting? Like another reader said, there is no measurement listed. Please help as I’m planning on making these in 2 days! Thanks.
We are so sorry about that! The frosting needs 4 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. We have updated the recipe.
I am so sorry we missed that! It is 4 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. We have updated the recipe. Thanks for catching that!
