    My boyfriend and I have made these three times together now. In a week. 'Nuff said.

    Easy, rich, fudgy goodness. The last time we made them we added a tablespoon of Kahlua to the batter and about 1/2 tablespoon to the ganache topping. It was subtle but it did give the brownies a richer chocolate flavor. They're still amazing without it though. Trust. Now please excuse me while I go try to work off some of the brownie weight I've put on in the past week.

    Dan and Steve were absolutely correct to boast that this is the best brownie recipe ever! Every one always want more of these decandent moist chocolate morsels. It is amazing how incredibly easy these are. One word of advice - do not overcook. Always stay within the cooking time limit.

    I have made these three times now, every time they have turned out perfectly. I bake them for 18 - 19 minutes and they are delicious, moist and fudgey. We started eating them frozen out of the freezer, but then we realised they are even better when at room temperature. One comment I would make is that you should line your pan with baking paper because the brownies tend to stick.

    These were fantastic! I have been looking for a thick, chocolatey, fudgy brownie recipe that can compete with the boxed hersheys brownies (my family adores them. These blew them out of the water! They are fantastic. I was skeptical when they were baking because they didn't seem firm enough, so I left them in for 20 minutes. They were divine hot out of the oven, very souffle like. But cooled down they are just as great!

    I grew up with the Baker's brownies, you know, the recipe that used to come in the back of the chocolate box. But since I don't have it anymore I decided to search for the perfect brownie recipe. When I saw the reviews for this one, I was really curious.
    Making these is a snap!! And the chocolate ganache adds an extra kick of chocolate to the recipe that makes them totally irresistible. I will be making them often. Well.. not too often. I want to be able to fit in my clothes too!
    Yay for this one!!

    I love to bake only the summers in Arizona are hot this recipe is so good and easy that I can suffer through the oven being on because I make four at a time and give as gifts and have extra for me. Thanks for all your easy and yummy treats.

    So...i used to think that the Recipe from Ghirardelli was pretty good. Now I know I will NEVER make another brownie again-I finally found it. And they haven't even cooled or gone in the freezer, and I messed up!

    FYI:
    1 I had no unsweetened chocolate so I used semisweet chocolate chips. I added a few extra tablespoons of semisweet chips to make up for the chocolate content (I guess unsweetened , since its pure chocolate, is more rich. To make up for the lack of chocolate, I added the extra chips
    2 I only added about 1/2 cup of sugar because I used the semi sweet chips and because I don't ever like how sweet the recipes are.
    3 I used about a tablespoon less of butter because Scharffen Berger says to do this when substituting semisweet for unsweetened (on their website
    4 I used a round metal cake pan, buttered and sprinkled with coconut flakes to avoid sticking.
    AND to all those who forget to read directions like me.....
    I messed up by accidentally adding the sugar after the chocolate-no problem!

    So, I hope these will make it to the freezer. Slices have already disappeared.

    My family is a tough judge of recipes, but they all approved of this one! The recipe was so simple yet so delectable. It wasn't too sweet, but it sure did melt in my mouth. The texture is perfect and I highly recommend these!
