This is what brownies are supposed to be, if you want something else look for chocolate CAKE recipes. Adding milk makes them a bit cakey, take the time to measure right and spread it in the pan, it dosn't pour. Try an oiled spatula. And don't forget the parchment in the instructions, helps to read those.

It gets two stars because it wasn't something totally unenjoyable, but it was certainly no chocolate chip cookie. Too cakey. Can't believe this won awards. Keep looking.

This was great, the only thing is that the batter may be a bit stiff making it hard to spread into a pan -- if this happens, adding a little milk while mixing worked for me. I often make variations of recipes I like to have a few new options. This one turned out lovely: I left out the drizzled butter and the crumbled topping altogether. Doubled the cake recipe, added a table spoon of cinnamon, and put a few teaspoons of batter aside. I mixed in a cup of raisins to the main batter and poured it in a rectangular. Then added extra cinnamon to the few teaspoons, some vanilla extract, and a little cocoa powder just to darken -- then used it to marble the cake. I baked it and frosted it after it cooled, with a simple white butter frosting (butter, powdered sugar, teaspoon cinnamon, and milk to consistency). I served this at a Christmas party and people were crazy for it.
