We added WAY too much instant coffee (one tbsp instead of one tsp and it ended up having a VERY strong taste of it. A word of advice, no matter HOW strong you think your instant coffee is, ONLY add 1 teaspoon. Other than that it was good. :

If you want a boring brownie -- you don't 'get' the concept of salt on a brownie or whatever, then live in your boring world. For the rest of us...this brownie is a revelation!! Yum...yum...yummmmm. Way to go, Brian!!!

I was afraid of the salt on top and the ancho chili powder, so I split the recipe when trying it. One batch without the salt & chili powder, one with everything and one just with the salt on top. Hands down the one with everything was the best. They are not hot as I expected, just really tasty. I love Brian's show and his recipes!!

Enjoyed these brownies, but I felt that the name was misleading. They weren't very fudgy, next time I would maybe use dark chocolate instead. Also, the taste seemed to improve after a day or so. They seemed more dense than they did right out of the oven.

This recipe is outstanding!

My baking episdoes are hit-or-miss dramas, but I am always willing to try somehting new. This recipe was definately worth the effort. My husband (the most discriminating critic of all LOVED them!

I was skeptical about the amount of eggs the recipe calls for, but it worked out fine. One note of caution - the receipe claims that it will make 48 mini muffins, and I didn't have the pans or the time to do this, so I used 1 regular size pan for 12 cupcakes and 1 mini size pan for 12 cupcakes. After 15 minutes, the mini pan of brownies WAS ready, but the big ones were not, so I ended up making a mess trying to get the "big guys" out of the pan.

So, a word to the wise - prepare for this recipe with the mini muffin pans, and all will be well. And your guests will probably enjoy having the opportunity to eat 2 or 3 or 4 of the bite-sized treats at various intervals as opposed to feeling obligated to eat 1 huge brownie in 1 sitting.

The flavor of this cupcake was wonderful, but underbaking a brownie by 3-4 minutes does NOT make it "gooey"... it just makes it impossible to remove from the pan, and it makes your party guests (the ones who understand the risk associated with undercooked eggs quite nervous!

These were pretty good, although I skipped the step of sprinkling extra salt on top. I can't express how happy I'll be when that particular food fad is over.

Changes I made - I can't find straight ancho chili powder without garlic and onion in it where I live, so I had to just omit. But I found chocolate that had chilis in it, and was a perfect addition instead of the original chocolate. I doubled up on the espresso powder just in case. I also baked in a 9x13 pan, which took about a half hour, and still the center was somewhat gooey. 3 egg yolks plus 4 eggs seems a little overkill to me!

Next time the biggest change I'd make is to replace the kosher salt called for in the recipe with just regular table salt. Even without sprinkling salt flakes on top, the recipe seemed overly salty. When you can taste and identify the salt in a baked good, rather than just tasting the flavors it is supposed to bring out, there is too much! Still, the recipe is worth it because it has a nice kick to it.

A highlight of my Sunday afternoon is watching WWBBM with my 6-year old daughter, who is CRAZY about BB. We both thought these looked so delicious and decided to make them for Teacher Appreciation Week at her school. I had high hopes that this could become my go-to brownie recipe but it was just not to be.

The batter was thick and rich, probably from all of the eggs+yolks. I sprayed my pan well - over sprayed, actually - and still had a lot of trouble getting the brownies out of the muffin tin. I'd recommend using paper liners.

I adore chocolate and desserts, but these brownies were way too sweet for me!! I'd recommend using less sugar.

The brownies really didn't taste very chocolate-y. I think dark chocolate might be a better option. I admit, however, to using a supermarket brand of semi-sweet chips instead of chopping up a bar - this could certainly affect the chocolate-i-ness of the end result.

Off to search for my go-to brownie recipe! I
