I love the homemade kind much better. When it is cooked right out of the oven that is when it is best served. I have tried the brownies that are in the box, and it is noting as delicious as the one that is made. I love the hot cooked oven taste. The brownies in the box are imitation. I love walnut brownies. And I love when they are cold, placed in a clear plastic container. I love them being very firm and soft. I love them being very chewy and sweet. I also like the chocolate glaze that is on the outside of the brownie, this gives it a delicious mouth watering flavor. So, which kind of brownies do you like better, Homemade or Boxed snack brownies?

I like the ones from the box that you have to make I love to make them I don't like it when there already made. It's fun to take the time to make them I make them with my kids and they love it so much. I love brownies but I can't eat them the way I use to because I am trying to lose weight and I would not lose any weight if I eat boxed brownies the way I really wanted to. I wonder if any one else wishes that they did not have to worry about weight and could eat any thing they wanted I know I do. You know as well as I do that those brownies are so good and once you start you can't stop so I try really hard not to eat as many as I did before.

hello cream i enjoy eating homemade brownies the best myself. i have a delicious brownie recipe that calls for three or four different kinds of chocolate in them. but they make several dozen brownies. it is a big recipe. and i love some kind of chocolate icing or chocolate frosting on top of my brownies. i cannot eat a brownie that doesn't have the icing on them. but at times before i have made brownies out of the box and i do not care for the Little Debbie brownies at all in the box. the delicious brownie recipe that i have is from one of the FoodNetwork episodes by Ina Gartner. i hope that i spelt her name correctly and i do not know the correct name for her brownie recipe. take care and have a beautiful day today!

I've only made them from scratch once, so right now I like the boxed better... why is it that they always turn out perfect?

I like homemade brownies best! They taste better and they are a lot of fun for me and my girls to make them together. I really like to add walnuts to mine too.

I like them both! When I make them from a box I add pecans and chocolate chips so they taste homemade. Brownies were the first thing I ever learned to cook, they are really so easy to do from scratch. But the box is really simple and quick. I also love brownies with cream cheese swirls....YUMMMMMMMMM

I'm not really sure if I've ever had a thing of homemade brownies or not before. I'm not sure if the really dry, no taste brownies that I had one time were homemade or not. If those were, then I'm definitely fond of and will continue to eat boxed brownies! At least I know those turn out nicely. I've never made a terrible batch of boxed brownies.

Oh, both of them sound nice! It is a pity that I have never eaten any kind of brownies before! So, I plan to try it someday somewhere! Take care!

ok, ok, you love your brownies!! It's homemade, definitely. Those boxed brownies don't stand a chance. They are usually hard, or gummy. Fresh, hot brownies are definitely the best. Ask my kids, though, and they want whichever one they can put in their mouth the fastest.

Homemade are by far the best! When I make mine, I always throw in chocolate chips so they are extra-chocolatey. Boxed mixes are a close second, some of them are very good. Especially if you doctor them up a bit (My families favorite is if I add about a cup of crushed oreos, and top them with an oreo/peanut butter frosting). Pre-packaged, already-made brownies are gross. They look like chocolate, but sure don't taste like it. About the only way they can be rescued is to split them, load them up with ice cream and top with a generous portion of hot fudge.

I like brownies too. I prefer brownies in the box because we don't have an oven to make one at home. I have never tasted any brownie that is home made so I am already contented with what is sold outside. The taste is good, there is no particular brand but just brownies. When it comes to the flavor I like walnut brownies too because it is chewy and delicious. Other brownies are just imitation so better pick the right one. I also like the brownie in KFC, it is delicious though not chewy.

I like both but because I have children under 5 I tend to make box ones because they are quick and easy. Though, I do at times add Symphony bars on the top before baking to just add a bit more richness to it. I've also tried adding creamcheese flavored frosting afterwards. That was really yummy!!

I love making them! They also taste much better than store-bought. Also that just-came-out-of-the-oven warm soft chewyness is the best! But if i dont have time to make them, and i have store bought in the house, ill pop one of those in the microwave for about 10 seconds.. same thing with chocolate chip cookies. has the warm gooey chewwyness.. but still... no replacement for homemade! :]

Hi Hon I have decided of late that brownies are not my fav sweets...Too sweet and chocolately and mushy. Give me a slice of german chocolate cake with that coconut frosting anyday or a carrot cake with homemade cream cheese frosting.. oxxoxoxoxo

Hi cream dear! I have a friend who really loves to bake brownies and everytime she does, she always make some extras and send them to me. It is really a treat for me since I love the brownies that she makes. I really don't know how to bake that is why most of the time, I buy them in bake shops near me. And there are those that really don't taste good but I must admit that there is one bake shop here in my area that can make them really good! take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

I love the homemade ones too, I usually make my own brownies, but I'm diabetic and I can't eat them, my husband loves them, so I make them for him, but its real tempting for me to eat too many...lol. I like them to be chewy too, I also like to eat the ones in the corners, I kinda like the crunchy edge too..haha.

Nothing beats hot fresh baked brownies from the oven, from a mix of course, but better than pre-made ones that are packaged. Fresh baked ones are so addicting, I struggle not to eat many.

Hey cream! I just love brownies! I like them homemade the best too! I love them when they are first made and are warm. And then I like them when they cool too! I sometimes put a bit of frosting on them if I'm in the mood for that extra chocolaty taste! I don't like the ones in the boxes either. They just don't taste right! They are so easy to make and they don't take that much time! I love to bake them myself!

I like the homemade brownnies better than the boxed. But when I'm in a hurry and need something quick, the boxed kind are good for that.
