This recipe is so much better than your typical brownie recipe. I've made them several times now and have learned that it is VERY important to follow directions to the letter. And remember what AB says, "your recipe will only be as good as your worst ingredient" Use quality products! p.s. don't bother sifting the brown sugar

These were delicious. Just the kind of brownies I like - moist, and rich. If you don't like dark chocolate, these brownies aren't for you, because boy are they DARK chocolate. They're also probably not good if you're looking for a neat little brownie to cut up into squares and wrap up in your kid's lunchbox - their texture is really fudgy, and they fall apart on your plate as you eat them. I loved them, they were perfect for my 2 am chocolate craving. I'm totally making these again.

I followed this recipe exactly. The brownies turned out nicely, and they were easy to make, but they taste like cocoa, not that sweet, but wierd. It calls for cocoa, now I am wondering if you are supposed to use "sweetened" cocoa or "unsweetened" cocoa. I used unsweetened cocoa and it just tastes like there is too much cocoa flavor and not enough chocolate if that makes sense.

Oh. My. GOD! These brownies are amazing. Even in the last 20 minutes of baking, I knew these would be winners. They're going to be a hit with my friends, for sure. :

Wow! If you like the sweet sweet box mixes then these are not for you. This is serious chocolate. I love them. If you like dark or even semi sweet chocolate then you'll love these.

Based on previous reviews I put mine in a 9 x 13 pan, it still took 40 minutes (I checked at 30 mins, as recommended, and it was gooey in the middle. I do recommend following the tv show and lining your pan with parchment paper; mine really stuck to the bottom with just butter and flour, as the recipe calls for, and I ended up breaking it in half while trying to get it out. I tried some while it was still warm and then again when it was completely cooled. The completely cooled version is so much better. Does anyone know why that is?

I highly recommend this recipe.

These brownies are very tasty, no doubt about that. But they came out more like a rich chocolate pound cake than the kind of brownies I'm used to. I didn't have the problems with them not cooking properly that others did, but mine didn't really develop the crust that brownies usually have around the edges and the bottom.
While I wasn't really satisfied with how they turned out as brownies, this is still a delicious recipe that I may make again to serve almost as a cake. I think maybe with less eggs they would turn out more brownie-like.

I love Alton, and I've followed recipes for some of his other baked goods with great success... but this brownie just turned out terrible.

The texture didn't remind me of a brownie at all, it was difficult to eat because of the way it fell apart and gooed up in the mouth, and it was kind of bitter.

I might take his suggestion about using a mixture of brown sugar and regular granulated sugar (rather than just granulated sugar in my brownies, but I won't be making this recipe again.
