The brownies are absolutely delicious and they look great. Also, I made them in a 9" square pan and divided the recipe by two-thirds which works perfectly. 1" brownies are great, as they're quite rich. Just heading to the kitchen now to make another batch for my friend's birthday, no doubt they'll be much appreciated! Thanks for the recipe, I know I'll get a lot of use out of it! Bell Hi Deb,

The brownies tasted delicious, but it was the consisitency of "brownie batter" you'd find in ice cream. I was just wondering if 3/4 cup of flour was a possible typo? Also, the amount of batter I made from your recipe was only enough for a 10"x 6"x 4" pan (1/2 a 4" hotel pan) and the yield you gave read 72 normal brownies and 117 1" brownies; I got 12 brownies. I'm not complaining by any means, just making sure if I read the recipe right or not. Thanks! Hi Deb,

The ganache was a gloppy ball of greenish chocolate in a vat of oil. As per the suggestion by Michael L, i reheated it, added a touch more cream, and stirred the c**p out of it. That seems to have solved the problem. Yum! Definitely considering replacing the mint with hazelnut syrup next time. I used Callebaut white chocolate, but I still had terrible separation.

They turned out delicious thanks to your detailed recipe (he's not usually the baker of the family). Thanks!

I just don't want to buy something I don't have to and may not use again. Thanks! I LOVE your website. Hi–

I bought peppermint extract, and I wasn’t sure if I have to buy mint extract as well. I just don’t want to buy something I don’t have to and may not use again.

Thanks!

I LOVE your website.

All joking aside, it's a great recipe just like most of your amazing food. Can't wait until the cookbook! I was expecting REAL grasshoppers, and I’m now undecided if I’m relieved or disappointed!
