I’ve been making this recipe for years, but I was wondering–would this recipe work with the white chocolate brownie recipe you use for the white and dark hearted brownies, or is there a difference in brownie height between the two recipes?

These are delicious and so easy to make! Instead of nuts, I added 2/3 cup of organic shredded coconut, and instead of vanilla (I was all out) I added a few drops of pure almond extract. The coconut added great texture and flavour, especially combined with the almond extract. Everyone who tried them wanted more!

Have made these many times as written and they’ve always been gorgeous. Had an egg crisis today and subbed in flax eggs, and to my surprise they turned out! The only differences were a bit less rise, a slightly nutty taste, and a little gooier, fudgier texture, not necessarily a bad thing in a brownie!

The most delicious brownies EVER! I added walnuts to mine, and cut them into 25 pieces hoping that I could eat just one little brownie square at a time, and learn some self-control..but no..the are just way TOO good..I probably would have been better off not cutting them at all, and eating the entire pan in one gigantic brownie square given my endless indulgence!

Hi! Just made these for the second time and they are so frickin good! Really chocolately and fantastic texture. I used the microwave method for melting and used regular old Hersheys cocoa and they are great. If you use the microwave method they are one bowl brownies too! Thanks!

So yummy! Just made them! They’re super rich so cutting them into small pieces is a great idea. No need for more than a few bites to get your fix! :) Thanks for the great recipe!

Also, I used Ghiradelli cocoa powder. It was the best quality cocoa I could find at a law student budget and it worked great!!

I’m a student and have never baked brownies from scratch before. I was trying to be a little ambitious today instead of making my standby banana bread.They turned out AMAZING. Thank you so much for not only the great recipes but also the narratives! Also, a little shout out to not just you but also the commenters for always putting in such helpful hints and tips. For a novice baker/cook it is so great to get information on how to fix little issues that I come across!
