You had a brownies recipe on the cocoa powder can about the late 1960’s or early 70’s. I would love to have that recipe if it is still available.

Help I’m not new to baking as I’m 68 years old, but something went terribly wrong with this recipe. They boiled up out of the pan and all into my oven. What happened? I followed the recipe.

You misread the amount of baking soda you were to use, or you used baking powder, by mistake.

Wow so wish I could delete my comment from a few minutes ago, but since I can’t I must say I found what was wrong (with me) not the recipe. I was making these quickly and put 1/2 cup baking soda not 1/2 teas. duh! I know better but was just moving right along. One day I’ll try them again and hopefully read better.

Has anyone made these in a mini muffin pan? Curious about how long to bake.
I have made these with King Arthur gluten free flour, half almond extract and half vanilla extract and they come out very good.Reply
