I’ve been reading your blog for a while but ever had the confidence to try any of the recipes. In the last four days have made these and your carrot cake recipe and both have been surprisingly easy and delicious. I think the two best things I have ever pulled out of the oven! 12:45 am on a work night is too late to try another recipe, right?? Thank you so much for writing and sharing these wonderful recipes and stories with us!

Wow, so I am making my 6th batch in 8 days!!! I have started with the recipe as it was and then tried to make it a bit healthier, by swapping the flour for almond meal, and reducing the brown sugar to 3/4 cup, only because we have been eating so many!! Thank you so much for the delicious recipe, I will go in to the family recipes book.

I made (24 of) these yesterday for a bake sale with caramel cream frosting and they sold in six minutes! Thanks for the recipe (:

Just wanted to say these brownies are amaaaazing. I used literally the cheapest possible storebrand cocoa and did all of the melting in the microwave, and they still came out wonderfully. I had a jar of sour cherries, so I drained those, roasted them in the oven, and folded them into the batter. EPIC. DELICIOUS. GLORIOUS. Thank you very much :).

These are my go to brownies! I make a double batch because everyone loves them so much! I add chocolate chips to the mix right before I put into the pan. YUM! Thank you!

I made these today with your cheesecake topping from your other recipe, and it was delicious! Can’t believe it’s just cocoa powder in them! I ran out of normal sugar so I used 80g on dark brown soft sugar instead and it worked perfectly. Thank you for such a lovely recipe!

I forgot to say, I love the ‘Surprise Me’ button. Sometimes I keep hitting it just to see how many recipes I missed through not knowing about your site earlier.

Thank you. I tried to find the original recipe, but what I could find looked exactly like yours, so I didn’t know if what I found were all copies of your recipe. Thank you for explaining. I made it yesterday, but the sugar didn’t dissolve, you can still see each grain. It wasn’t bad, just unexpected.

I enjoy your site.

Hi Anna — I usually clarify where I’ve made a change (i.e. “I used flaky salt” etc.) Mostly I added several tips to the directions that helped me and I hoped would help others.

Please can you tell us where exactly you changed the recipe? I’m really interested in that. Thanks.
