Arthur Morgan’s Widow 5 I know how to make brownies from scratch, but I've always loved Betty Crocker's version (along with the ease of making them and the lack of suspense whether they'll come out right). As an American, I've always found Japanese versions of brownies to be very thick, dry, and bland. These, however, are sweet, packed with flavor, and allow you to achieve the perfect crackly-top to moist, soft body ratio!Perfection!
