You could make a good amount and keep it for future use of cakes and such. :) How long would it take to bake in standard muffin tins, and how many would it make? I'm reluctant to get the 12x18 pan. Thanks so much! If you don’t like to grease and flour pans, you could always make a mixture of butter and flour and just brush it in the pan.

How long would it take to bake in standard muffin tins, and how many would it make? I’m reluctant to get the 12×18 pan.

Thanks so much!

I'm worried that I'll overbake. I made them before in a baking sheet -- so, so yummy. But I'm making these for company and I don't want to screw the timing up! Thanks.

I've been long delaying it. The brownies look so delicious. This is a sigh that I should by the barefoot contessa cookbook. I’ve been long delaying it. The brownies look so delicious.

Voila! Oreo brownies, anyone? (My husband won't eat nuts with chocolate; I HAVE to play with recipes to keep my life exciting...!)

I wasn't sure from your wording (above) if you'd halved the entire recipe or just the butter, but even at half the butter, 225g to 1 1/4 cups of flour, strikes me as way too much. I still think your classic brownie recipe is the best. I've made that one several times now with mild variations -- just 1 tsp salt instead of the leavening agents, less sugar and some sweet milky cream chocolate instead of some of the dark stuff -- to serious raves. I love trying out different brownie recipes but it's important to appreciate the honest to goodness standby. This outrageousness ain't for me.

Then I tried the Baker's One Bowl Brownies & loved them! Most recently though, the newest one I tried was a King Arthur brownies recipe off the back of a package of King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour. Oh, they were so good. I think I've finally found the one! You might look into it if you are interested in trying another one the next time the urge hits. I don't think I've ever met someone that is like me in having that very specific craving for a brownie during PMS. Nothing else satisfies, does it?!

I seem to have forgotten what my standby brownie recipe is. So I've been searching. I love Ina, so last night I totally randomly chose her Outrageous Brownie recipe and made it. i did it in the wrong size pan, however -- so in order to completely bake, they sort of overbaked in places. Also, they are a little too bitter for me. They're good, but not The One. So my friend suggested that her favorite is the one of the back of the Baker's chocolate box. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it could be a winner. So I thought I would check your site, and here you are, comparing the two!! I'll definitely try the One Bowl Wonder next time.

What does rap mean??

My solution is the 'Large Bar Pan' by Pampered Chef (www.pamperedchef.com). Words cannot convey how amazing this is for making hassle-free brownies. I use this stoneware in my kitchen every day, but especially that time of the month when I want an evenly-moist, totally sinful brownie. They come out beautifully, every time, with no greasing and flour-dusting. Not ever. (By the way, their new Warm Caramel Brownie recipe is to die for. To. Die. For. Just thought you should know you're missing out! :) Brin www.messythrillinglife.blogspot.com Deb,
