[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your guests were rude.  [b]But I do also think it’s poor taste to serve boxed mix brownies to guests.  Brownies are quite possibly the easiest thing to bake from scratch and uses just one bowl.[/b] Or just serve fruit if you can’t bake. [/quote]

I know plenty of people who think this way.  I will eat your homemade from scratch brownies to be polite but they really aren't very good.  I won't tell you that.  But someone should.[/quote]

I think you just like boxed brownie mix because you're used to it. Scratch is better. Anything that's not Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker is better--how anyone can claim otherwise with a straight face is beyond me. I suppose you like Aunt Jemima pancake mix, too? [/quote]

Brownies from scratch are dense.  They just don't have a good texture.

Professional bakers use cake mixes for the superior texture and add to it for the particular flavor they want.  But they don't make cakes from scratch.  They know better.[/quote]
