I have made these brownies twice: First time, for New Years Day Party and they were AMAZING!!! Second time, for Easter Day...and I made a mistake. VERY IMPORTANT TO DO AS INA SAYS..."stir, do NOT beat" chocolate into egg mixture. I used the STIR level of my standing mixer, so I thought I would be ok (being a little lazy to be honest, but I knew as soon as I put the batter in the pan, ...too much air in the batter. Like another reviewer commented, the tray spilled over the rim. I aas able to salvage, by waiting a little past the 1/2 way cooking point, then trimming the edges, banging the tray as Ina says, and returning to oven. They were as tasty as ever. However, not the dense fudge version I made so well on my first try. Will definitely make a 3rd++++ time again!!

This brownie is perfect. Easy to make it and delicious chocolate taste. I'm living in Hungary and the brownie and the peanut butter are not popular here. One time I baked it to my friends. They were fascinated from it and loved the chocolate and peanut butter together. I have to make it frequently. I would highly recommend for everybody. Thanks for this recipe.

Like others, the peanut butter separated from the brownies within one day. See Bobby Flay's Peanut Butter Caramel Swirled Brownies for a video explanation of why this happens! Next, these brownies came out very greasy due to the large amount of butter that the recipe calls for. Also, they were too fudgey and too chocolately. Furthermore, this makes a very, very large amount of brownies. I am an experienced baker and consider this recipe a waste of expensive ingredients and time. Would not make again or recommend. Highly recommend Tyler's Ultimate Brownies or America's Test Kitchen Brownies recipes!

These were good brownies. Some people said it was the best brownies they ever had. I didn't taste the pb as much even though I added more than what was stated and I added some pb chips. It was dense and you can tell its homemade because it has its own flavor. It was difficult to cut into perfect squares because it crumbled a little at the sides. I just thought the brownies wasn't that great that it deserved four sticks of butter.

These brownies are a must try for people who like fudgey brownies. If you prefer cake-like brownies or the consistency that comes with the traditional brownie mixes, this will be different. I followed the recipe exactly and used Nescafe instant coffee, Bakers unsweetened chocolate, a variety of brands for the chocolate chips, and Jif smooth peanut butter. One of my friends thought there was dark chocolate in this recipe - I think it was the combination of the unsweetened chocolate and semisweet chips. Another friend who doesn't normally like brownies - really liked these brownies. Next time, I may add more peanut butter - I definitely think the peanut butter makes these brownies so good!

These brownies are tasty, but mine overflowed all over the oven. I used the called for pan, but it certainly wasn't big enough. Maybe half the recipe in a 9X13? I live at 6000 feet. Maybe that had something to do with it?

This is a decadent, grown-up brownie with a delicate mocha flavor...and it makes a lot. Next time I may half the recipe and try it in a 9x9 pan. Also do keep them in the fridge. They taste good cold or warmed up.

These brownies are AMAZING!!!! My husband loves them so much, he asks me to make them for his birthday every year instead of a cake. Co-workers rave about them and fight over them when I bring them in. You have to make these!
