    I've made this recipe many times and these brownies are wonderful! I usually use Ghirardelli white, milk and dark chocolate chips. The milk and dark chips from this company are large and the first time I made this I didn't chop them up. The only complaint I received was that the chips were too big. Chopping the chips works better. I've used walnuts, pecans and almonds and they all tasted great, but my favorite was the walnut version. If you're not a nut fan just leave them out, the brownies are still great without them. The recipe does not call for it, but I use dutch processed cocoa powder for that little extra oomph. The frosting is delicious, but is definitely on the sweet side. You could probably cut down on the sugar for this part without negatively affecting the overall taste. The cinnamon in the frosting is a delectable complement to the brownie. Highly recommend this recipe. Thank you Emeril!

    I made this the other night for a NYE dinner party I attended, and I would probably say this is one of the best desserts I think I've ever had. The Cinnamon Cream Cheese icing is definitely worth making. Please do not skip this step... The brownies are pretty typical brownies-nothing that really makes it over the top... But the frosting is what makes it. If you don't have the full amount of confectioners sugar, you can definitely improvise and use in addition granulated sugar. Instead of milk I opted for whipping cream (prob. 5 tablespoons and used a little more cinnamon than what the recipe called for.

    Very rich and delicious! I omitted the nuts, and the dish was still fantastic! I also used Paula Deen's Red Velvet Cake cream cheese icing (which is whoa nelly good! instead of the cinnamon icing recipe. This is the first Emeril recipe I have tried, and I loved it! I'm usually a PD dessert gal, but this dessert was very easy to make and recommended!

    These were fun and easy to make, but right out of the oven, we were disappointed with how they tasted. Even so, with the cream cheese frosting, they were gobbled up! So the next time I made them, I hid them until the next day and they were MUCH better! The chocolate flavor was more intense and the texture was fabulous!

    Scrumpdilleeicious, and not at all difficult to prepare. I had all the ingredients on hand, and the girls at my daughters' sleepover wished I had made 2 batches.

    This was my fist time making home made brownies. They were easy to make & turned out so good. Also a good recipe to make with kids. I changed up the chocolate a little to accomodate what I had on hand. I used 3oz of semi sweet chips & 3 oz of white chocolate chips. It turned out great. The frosting is a really nice touch.

    I only had milk chocolate chip morsels handy, so I put 6oz of that as opposed to 2oz of each chocolate and it was really good. I also substituted peanuts for pecans, since i love peanuts. It was the first time i made brownies from scratch and definitely the last time i bought a mix! My family loved the recipe and i even froze the left over icing
