I had to read the reviews of these brownies to make sure that mine came out right, which apparently they did. I was not a fan. If you want a super intense decadent chocolate flavor from your brownies, these are the brownies for you. If you however are in the mood for normal brownies like me, these are going to disappoint you. As one of the previous reviews said, this tastes more like a flourless chocolate cake and should be labeled as such.

These are now my favorite brownies. You must use real butter (I use Costco brand and I've found the cocoa from Trader Joe's is the best in this recipe. They are super moist, fudge-like, and purely decadent.

These brownies were great just the way they were written. The second time around I experimented to make them gluten free and subbed the white flour for quinoa flour (found at health food coop bulk section or Bobs Red Mill. Also, I didn't have 2 sticks of butter so I did half butter half canola oil. Before baking I sprinkled with chocolate chips. Baked at 325 instead of 300 until they were done (around 40 minutes. Delicious! Rave reviews from the family.

I gave this application 3 stars because I have yet taste them, mostly for the ease of use.
The brownies have been in the oven for over 80 minutes and the center is still total batter.
Not sure what happened. Used an 8x8 pan and all the measurements were on point.
Maybe next time I'll sure a bigger pan like other users have mentioned.

Luscious! I added a total of 20 minutes to the baking time at 350 degrees, but I often have do bake things longer in my oven. Although they are about twice as high as those in the picture, they are easily the best brownies I have ever made. I topped them with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for an anniversary dessert. Five stars from me.

Well, I don't know what I did wrong. All I did off recipe is I started with 2 eggs, then realizing my error, I added 2 more after the flour and salt. Other than that I followed the recipe and the brownies were cakey - and not just a little cakey. Very disappointing! Nothing I love more than the crisp top and gooey insides of a good brownie! All I can say is you must have to follow it exactly.

These are my favorite brownies. They are exceedingly fudgy and chocolately - if you like a cakey, less-chocolate brownie, these are NOT for you!

My only changes:

- I love thick brownies, but baking these in an 8x8 pan was just too much - they almost boiled over the brim, and took over an hour to cook. The next time, I made them in a 9x13 pan, which was perfect - still fudgy and dense! (Note: due to my pan change, I kept the temp at 300. In a 9x13 pan they took the allotted 45 minutes.

- As with all brownies/bar cookies, I lined my pan with heavy duty aluminum foil overhanging the edges of the pan (and sprayed the foil with Baker’s Joy. Once the brownies are somewhat cool, you can just lift the whole thing out of the pan, making cutting and cleanup easy.

- I used a dark Dutch cocoa powder, which gave them a very deep flavor - great for dark chocolate lovers!

- The last time around I covered the brownies with peanut butter M&Ms before baking. Unreal.

Thanks, Alton!

best brownies ever! we did cook them 15 minutes longer to achieve the clean toothpick, and it did take quite some time for them to cool ... but man, oh man, were they delicious!
