Never cooked brownies. I've made a few cakes from scratch but never brownies.
Any tips would be appreciated too.

Mine's pretty much like quikk's too.
Sometimes I'll throw different flavored chocolate chips in (not too many because you don't want the flavor to be overpowering)
The key is definitely do not overbake.

I hate to say it, but I use the box. They've got some pretty good ones. Not worth the effort to do by scratch imo.

I make mine from scratch from an old kids cookbook my grandmother got me when I was 6 or 7. I'll have to find it so I can post the recipe. They are THE BEST brownies I've ever had and go even better with gooey chocolate frosting on top.

I've tried a variety over the years from scratch - nothing to me beats the Ghirardelli variety out of the box.

6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
In a glass or metal bowl, set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the bittersweet chocolate and the unsweetened chocolate with the butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth, remove the bowl from the heat, and let the mixture cool until it is lukewarm. Stir in the sugar and the vanilla and add the eggs, 1 at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the salt and the flour, stirring until the mixture is just combined, and stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a well-buttered and floured 13 by 9-inch baking pan, smooth the top, and bake the mixture in the middle of a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering to it. Let the mixture cool completely in the pan on a rack and cut it into bars.
