There is nothing better than chocolate to lift ones spirits when you are feeling down. After pondering about what to make, I thought about warm brownies. Nummy. I enjoy mine with walnuts. I would rather have the chewy ones over the cake brownies. I can almost smell them now.

You should make the brownie cheesecake that I posted. It is wonderful. It will lift your spirits in a hurry. I think I will go get me a piece to eat while I surf the net. I hope you are ok. Feel better soon. Ok???

That was what I wanted to do, but didn't have all of the ingredients. I have them today. The brownies came close, but didn't really give me that chocolate high I so craved. : )

Mmmm :) Hope the brownies make you feel better! I know they say you shouldn't eat when you are upset, but sometimes it just helps! If you really want to make a good snack, get some vanilla ice cream and carmel to top the brownie with. Now THAT is a "feel better" snack!

Oh I love brownies so much. I haven't made them lately because I'm the only one that eats them here. And that is just way to dangerous..I'm afraid I would eat them all...lol I like them with walnuts too. I love having a fresh homemade brownie with vanilla ice cream on it..yummy Oh God I think I'm starting to drool....lol I'll be right over, I'll bring the ice cream.

You know, I like the chewy brownies better too. My partner and I had a craving for brownies one night...some time ago...and ran to the store to buy some boxes. But when we made them, they turned out to be like a cake brownie. We thought we did something wrong. Do we made a different box of a different brand...we couldn't decide which one to get, so we bought several to try them all. LOL But sure enough, they turned out like a brownie cake!!! We finally resolved to realize that if you want the chewy kind, you would have to get the old fashioned. LOL But now I am not allowed to have them anymore. :( So, will you eat one for me? :)

My favorite brownies to bake were always the Hershey 5 minute recipe. I may have lost the recipe, though, as I have not made them in some time. It made a big 9x13 pan of brownies, and was really simple to make. They were chewy, not cakey, and good with nuts or without. i also used my Amish friendship starter recipe, with chocolate pudding, chocolate milk, and added chocolate chips and nuts. Baked it in a 9x13 plus one 8x8, and those were yummy brownies, as well.

I agree, chocolate does help make you feel better. I ran out of eggs so I will have to wait until tomorrow. I haven't made brownies in awhile. I have a homemade recipe that I really like making. I like both the cake like and the chewy ones. I don't care as long as it is chocolate.lol.

When I was young, brownies were a junior version of the girl guides, I didn't know you could bake them, I suppose they could be quite chewy. I guess that's what happens when they sit too close round the camp fire and get toasted.

Hi EB!!! :) Baking brownies eh? Are you going to share? Send em this way! LOL I can't bake. I've tried but I guess I don't have the basics. I once baked cookies that turned into brownies. They didn't harden at all. I think I had too much butter in them or maybe not enough soda powder? But thankfully my friends finished it cause it was super chocolatey. hehehe

I can smell them too, lol. I love fresh chewy brownies...almost more than you know what. I like to add some vanilla ice cream in a dish, with two brownies, and some hot fudge sauce. Now, there's a good comfort food. I hope you're feeling better.

i am happy to see that you're feeling better or you're doing something to cheer you up....it seems that brownies worked very well!!! I don't eat many sweets or cakes (because I don't like sweet things very much) but the thing I like the most about cakes is baking and having that wonderful smell of home made things spreading through your home...it is a smell that sounds of home, peace, ancient time and family...mmm..I can quite picture you...tasting your favourite cake, your eyes closed, your mouth full of those soft chocolate, your heart warmed by these wonderful feeling of something good and warm...mmm..have a nice day

I always warm my brownies, the I top them with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. I agree with you about the walnuts-- I add them to my brownies too. And I always make mine with less eggs to avoid that cakey type. Talk about comfort food!
