    My 6-year-old said, "These are better than a candy bar!" He was sooooo right! This is what you should take to any family gathering, bake sale, etc. They are very smooth and "truffly." Not classic brownie texture, so if that's what you're looking for, make something else. You have to try these, though!

    A winner every time. I have never used a round pan for brownies, I use a rectangular one. Keep them in the refrigerator, it seems like the cold keeps them fresh and delicious! I also cut them in tiny squares because they are so rich and they look like a gourmet delicacy.

    This is a gem of a recipe. And its is ridiculously easy to prepare. Be advised that the one pitfall to the recipe is the ganache. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup chocolate chips (4 ounces. Weigh it and use the full 4 ounces. If you just measure out half a cup it won't be nearly enough. Strangely, butter doesn't work in this recipe. Keep in mind this is really an elegant little cake and is not going to look like a mere batch of brownies, especially with its ganache glaze. I baked mine in a spring form pan for 15 minutes and it was absolutely perfect. The cake bakes with the edges slightly raised, which makes a convenient way to ice it: pour the thick but still fluid ganache onto the top of the cake. Then tilt and rotate it all around so the ganache runs out to the very edges of the cake. It will then set into a flawless mirror finish. You're going to love this one!

    very good, I didn't have unsweetened chocolate so I used just cocoa and added a bit more butter. Turned out great, pretty rich and chocolately nothing wrong with that!

    I love chocolate and was looking for a really good, gooey brownie. I was really disappointed when our local Panera changed their recipe, so I had to go and search for a recipe. These are my go-to brownie. We have a lot of "food days" at work and my responsibility is always the chocolate. Unless we have a "theme," I always make these brownies and they disappear in no time. I make them pretty much anytime I have to make a dessert outside of work, too. They're not quite as gooey as I'd like, but the taste is amazing. I've made them with a thin layer of raspberry jam between the brownie and the ganache - very, very good. I bake them in an 8" round non-stick cake pan and they come out perfectly every time.

    If you are after chocolate, these are your brownies! So, so good. However I put mine in an 8x8 glass dish and relied on the cooking spray to release them when I went to go cut them. Wrong! They totally stuck to the pan. Next time I will listen to an earlier poster and line the dish with parchment. They were messy but still good!

    If you like chewy, fudgey brownies then these are it. Everyone who tasted these brownies, from kids to adults, absolutely loved these.
