Very chocolatey and delicious! Used an old Alton Brown trick of using parchment paper, not only prevents sticking in a cleaner way than flower, but can then lift the brownies straight out of the pan. Did take longer to bake than stated. I advise using a bigger pan, as they are very thick, leading to the longer baking time. Way better than boxed brownies!

Did anyone else find they where too chocolaty? i went over every ingredient and found nothing wrong, im used to box brownies so maybe its just higher quality then what im used to. Parhaps it was the time?....

Served them to the guys at work! Most said and I agreed, not sweet enough, hard to swallow, too much cocoa powder. Warehouse guys, truckers no less...

A thick, gooey, sticky mess. I followed directions to the tee. A huge waste of a lot of butter and eggs. It tasted very strong, a very strong not good taste. Food network should test this recipe and agree it should be removed. Also took over an hour to cook somewhat firm. I almost had to throw away caked on baking dish. Yuck.

This is a great recipe. I would note that if you have a decent mixer like a kitchen aid, the shifting doesn't seem to be necessary. If your brown sugar is a little old and dry, it might be necessary, but that's it. You can skip the salt if you're using salted butter. Like Alton did on the show, add the butter slowly. For my oven, I've found that 45 minutes just won't get the job done. I have a pretty new oven (only a 1 1/2 years old, and I've found that it takes a solid 60 minutes to get to doneness. A little experimentation with your particular oven I think is really necessary for this recipe to come out right. The recipe really is uber delicious.

I followed the recipe to a tee and the brownies were dry and I would not use this recipe again. The packaged brownies from wal-mart are more tasty and moist than this recioe

Simply. Amazing. This is a choco-holic's dream and isn't for the faint of heart...or stomach. I've made brownies from far more complex recipes but I have to say this recipe takes the cake. I'd say "no pun intended," but these brownies are anything but cakey. Sifting all the dry ingredients made for a silky smooth finished product. I did bake the brownies in a 13x9" pan (I do not own an 8x8" for about 50 minutes and the toothpick came out *almost* clean, which made for a perfectly-baked brownie. Thanks, Alton, for another incredibly simple, sumptuous recipe!

They came out so good. I made sure to watch the video before I made the brownies. I expected a strong cocoa powdery taste and it delivered. It was moist and not too gooey. Mr. Brown you really delivered! Love your show, btw.
