@RespectLife These brownies to me really are wonderful! I use any kind of cocoa or chocolate I have (usually just Hershey's) and have never been disappointed.  It is amazing how easy these are to make.

Right now I have two box mixes in the pantry. I pull them out when I don't have anything made for dessert. My husband loves brownies!

Does anyone know the secret to having brownies with a more cake-like texture than a gooey texture?  I dislike that "mouth-feel" and it almost seems like the brownies aren't fully cooked.

 

I have wanted to make some brownies for a while now, but I want to  be sure I get the right type mix to get my preferred type of brownie!

Many times, there are directions on box mixes to make more 'cake like' but I always thought it was an extra egg that makes it more cake.

 

I get ya!  Sometimes I don't care for that 'raw, uncooked' type brownie.

Thanks @Sooner 

 

My dark special is Hersheys, but I have been buying Ghiradelli Dutch and Natural (at Wally) and I find it to be supurb quality cocoa!!!

I have always used Betty Crocker Fudge brownies and put lots of walnuts in them.  I've tried others, but always come back to these.  They are fudgey in the center.  I guess I like them like that and so does my family.

@RespectLife I use regular Hershey's cocoa. Because there's little flour in this recipe, regular cocoa provides plenty of a chocolate punch. I also use salted butter and omit the pinch of salt.
