I found this recipe a few months ago, and now I always have to keep unsweetened chocolate squares on hand so when my fiance says, "Hey, why don't you make those awesome brownies tonight?" I'm ready! A few tips from someone who's made this several times: I add a handful of chocolate chips and a handful of walnuts and it's great. One time I forgot to set my oven timer, and so I had to guess whether they were done, which I'm not very good at. A toothpick came out not quite clean so I let them go a little longer, and then a little longer... I kept them going until the toothpick came out clean, and that batch came out awfully dry. Each cut brownie would crumble on the plate. Next time I made them I experimented and threw in a little applesauce to get them a little more moist, and I took them out of the oven when the toothpick was just a little shy of being clean. Very good batch! Also, for some strange reason these are always much better on the second day, and even on the third day. I say, make a batch and enjoy a little brownie that night, but save most of them for the next night. Really good recipe for serious chocolate lovers!

Very good recipe! It was a little too sweet for my taste so next time I think I'll leave out the sugar. The apples themselves should be plenty sweet. But it was very good and super easy to throw together!

My fiance gave me my engagement ring yesterday. Later in the evening he asked if I knew how to make rice pudding, so I tried this recipe since it was simple and pretty quick. I added cinnamon and nutmeg and tempered the egg like others have suggested. When we sat down and ate our pudding, he got a euphoric look on his face and said, "Oh, if I had any doubts about marrying you, they are all gone now!" It's good enough to get someone to marry you...or at least convince him he's making a good decision. :)
