The finest way to eat seafood is with this Old Bay-infused seafood boil. The salt, thyme, and lemon really bring the water to a boil. Even if you are not a great fan of seafood, the potatoes, corn, and sausage will make your mouth wet. Take time to unwind with your family and enjoy this meal in the summer or at Christmas. Serve with sourdough bread, chilled beer, fresh lemons, Bloody Marys, and lots of napkins.

Made a half batch just to see how good this would be. Holy Moly! It’s excellent! Wonderful for gift giving, simple to make and delicious! I use dark chocolate cocoa powder since that’s all I buy.
These brownies are great. However they were dry so I adjusted the recipe a little. I used 1 cup of vegetable oil instead of butter, and I used 2 eggs instead of 4, and I added a splash of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of milk and cooked them in the oven of 350° for 30 minutes and they turned out moist, fudgey, and perfect. Thank you for the recipe.
Absolutly love This!! Giving these as gifts this year along with cookies Thank you for Sharing!!
Made these for a school bake sale and they sold out. Wonderful
This recipe had good flavor, however, it was extremely dry! I followed all directions and even took the brownies out of the oven before I was supposed to, and they were so dry you could barely swallow! I would say maybe add some oil or something to give them some moisture.
DOES NOT FIT IN THE JAR… 4 Cups = 1 QT. Take the Servings down to 12 and it will fit.
Pretty good. A touch dry but nothing a glass of milk won’t solve.
I made these as brownie bites in mini muffin tins. 350 F for 18-21 minutes and they were delicious. Makes 4 dozen.
this is my favorite brownie recipe, hands down. Perfect texture, freezes well and simple enough to remember even when I’ve lost the recipe!
Very good mix. I made then the other night when my husband said “I want something yummy” lol A big mix had to find other people to eat them. Becasue being on this darn carb dite, I personally couldnt enjoy them lol Very good recipe!
Fantastic!! The best brownies I’ve ever tried!!
Today I have used 3 recepies to make brownies and then did taste test comparisons with my sons. We all agree these are the best and far more superior than those we have ever bought in a bakery.(I omitted the nuts) Thank you for this fab recipe!
It turned out just like brownies from a mix!!
I thought this recipe was great. I did not use in a gift jar, if just made the recipe. I also frosted my brownies with chocolate frosting. The only thing I would suggest is not flouring your pan or use very little flour.It looked horrible seeing that flour thru a clean pan.
I tied the pecans in a bag and attache with a ribbon to the jar because some people don’t like nuts in their brownies. This gave them an option
I did not have enouh room in the jar for all ingredients. I had to leave out pecans and choc chips and give them seperate.
I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!DO ANOTHER RECIPE LIKE IT!!!MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY LOVED IT FOR A GIFT.THANKS!!!!!!
double fudge? seemed kinda normal
I could not fit all of the ingredients in the jar. I packed and packed and just could not get them in…
This tends to be dry & flaky on the top. I think if a little vegetable oil and water were added and maybe 1 egg reduced, it would be more moist. Otherwise, this was very chocolately & good.
