I have followed recipe exactly, but my favorite is to use Green and Black's 70% chocolate (bitterwseet) and slightly less (2 cups only) sugar. I once forgot to reduce sugar and just as good. These are in the oven now, full recipe, Baker's unsweetened chocolate, with caramel too for a Turtle brownie twist. Using an 8 by 8 pyrex baking dish because I am making your granola bars with the 9 x 13 at the same time! Hope it comes out okay with increased cooking time. Deb, I am on maternity leave now and I am so glad I found your blog last year. I am an avid baker but usually play "beta cook" to my skilled hubby when it comes to everything else....with the extra time and temporary stay at home mom role, I am gearing up to be a contender in the kitchen-for all meals-pretty soon! Thanks for your great step by steps and photos! I should be sleeping while my daughter naps, but I cook :). I have made these three or four times now and each time they were delicious.

I think I underbaked them a bit because they're a bit gummy even at 35 minutes at 350 degrees. The timing of this recipe seems difficult. You have to stop it before it between underbaked and done. They taste good though and since they're kinda dense I'm just gonna tell people they're super fudgey brownies. I just made these today.

Every single recipe that I've tried so far has turned out so perfect in taste and looks! But i'm having trouble with this, my brownie has been in the oven for more than an hour and a half already but the middle is still very gummy. I did the whole recipe in a 12x8. Is there something that might have gone wrong? So devo. :( Hey deb, I really really love your website. Every single recipe that I’ve tried so far has turned out so perfect in taste and looks!

However, mine were barely chocolate-y at all! They were several shades lighter than your pictures, and I could barely taste the chocolate-y-ness! I doubled the recipe and used 1.5 squares of Baker's chocolate, since the box said each square was 10 oz. I'm sure I messed this up, I just don't know how!!
