First time
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I read alot of reviews that said this recipe was no good and was hard to do, but I made them and they turned out great. The... key was a lower cooking temp, around 400 degrees and using a stoneware cooking pan.Read more

Mexican brownies
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found the recipe to be excellent. I did not know to crush the piloncillo sugar so that it would melt but was able to take... it out and crush it. It would not melt on its own. I did use 1/2 cup less flour. This made the brownies very moist with an outside crust. The crust formed with the 30 minute bake time. I do use a convection oven. I made them for a theme dinner at work. Will definitely make again.Read more

A truly unique brownie
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I bake a lot of brownies, and these were really different. Very, very dense, but not fudgy like you would think. Strong,... sweet and deep flavor. I wouldn't make them every week like my favorite recipe, but they are great for an occassional treat. I made them for a Mexican-theme potluck dinner party.Read more

gooey
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Brownies were very gooey and never became cakelike. Directions need to specify if this is what to expect. Ingredients were... hard to find.Read more
