I've made these twice and taken them to parties, and they were a huge hit! It's hard to imagine packing more chocolate flavor in each mouthful. By far the best brownie recipe I've ever used! They are easier to cut if you refrigerate them first.

Well let me start out by saying my 10 yr son and 9 yr old daughter made the brownies. My job was soley to man the stove and oven, So that should give you an idea of the level of skills needed. It came out perfect no adjustments or alteration. They dirty two bowl (big deal & threw away 3 disposible cups which they use to measure and seperate. I spent $10 dollars which I dont consider a huge cost I mean yeah box brownies are cheapier but the experience was worth it. I think it's really hard to mess this recipe up unless you think you're a better cook then you are and you really suck or you have ZERO patience. Okay now lets get into taste. My son thought the brownies were outstanding and my daughter stated there were a bit on the chocolately side I also agree with her. I'm more of a milk chocolate flavor girl and my son digs dark chocolate. I guess that should help you determine if they are right for you and or if you might want to use slightly different ingriedents. ;-

Everyone loves these brownies but I only problem is that the last two times I made them they came out crumbly. I followed all instructions and refrigerated them before slicing. Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong.

I used milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and semi-sweet. I substituted 1 1/2 tbsp of cold coffee instead of coffee powder. I added about an extra 2 tbsp of flour and another pinch of baking powder and they turned out fabulous. Cooked 32 minutes and had to rack the pan about 3 times to release the air. I actually hate brownies but these were great. Frost them and they are even more decadent.

To Marcelle in Georgia, Ina clearly states use a 13x18 Sheet pan. If they are gooey you did something wrong. (Probably the wrong size pan. If they are gritty you did something wrong. They are not bitter. They baked in exactly the amount of time in the receipe and placing them in the refreigerator made them cut beautifully. I cut them smaller therefore freezing them in smaller packages. Took them to a potluck and had numerous requsts for them.

The most outrageous part of these brownies is the cost of the ingredients to make them and then to have to toss all that into the trash. Oh what a waste. These came out gritty & bitter. I am 53 years old and considered a very good cook around my house and have even been told, by friends and family, I should open my own restaurant. (I say this only to give you an understanding of my level of culinary competence I was so excited to make these and offer them to my husband and grandson who love my brownies. My husband forced one down and then apologized to me but said he just couldn't eat another one. I tasted them and was totally grossed out by the texture and the bitter flavor. I followed the recipe as it was written so I don't know what went wrong or if our taste buds are more critical than all the others here. I will definitely NOT attempt to make these again because of the expense and chance that they will turn out just as bad the second time around. I will stick with the tried and true around my house... Betty Crocker's traditional recipe with walnuts for the husband and without nuts for my grandson. Sorry Ina, but I did try.

I've made this recipe twice. Both times the brownies came out perfectly. They DO take longer than 30 minutes to bake though. Closer to 40 minutes and then you must watch the edges for over cooking. Was in a rush and had to cut them into squares after only 1/2 hour in the fridge. They were still a little warm and difficult to cut. If you refrigerate at least an hour they are much easier to cut. GREAT BROWNIES. Will always use this recipe.

May try to half the butter next time.
