Yum, Yum, Yum. This recipe should get 10 stars. I did follow another reviewers advice and used the bigger baking pan. Good thing. I did make one change to the recipe though. I used amaretto instead of water. I have never had a brownie this good. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing.

This was an awesome recipe! I only made one change...the pan! I used a 9x13 pan because even as I mixed the batter I could tell it was too much for the 9x9 pan. The batter was just enough for the bigger pan. I also made the recipe in one pan. I mixed the chocolate, eggs, and vanilla as well as the dry ingredients in the same pan as the sugar, water and butter to cut down on cleanup and it worked just fine. This brownie is moist, flavorful and very chocolaty and I did not find it overbearing on sweetness in the least. I used semi sweet Nestle chips. The only other recommendation I would make is for those of us who use a glass baking dish. I would add just a little flour to the bottom of the pan to help aide in keeping the brownie non-stick because I used Pam Butter flavored cooking spray and it did not necessarily work as I got a little sticking action on the pan. I will be making this again for sure!

9 X 13 PAN IS DEFINITELY NEEDED for this OH SO YUMMY brownie recipe. The author made a huge mistake when she listed the pan size as 9x9 I've mixed in peanut butter chips for a change up and also made with a combination of semi sweet and white chocolate. I've found that 42 minutes at 325 degrees is perfect

Wonderful! I've made these a few times to send to my USAF boyfriend in care packages (they don't dry out or go stale too quickly, like some do) and now all the military wives and girlfriends want the recipe! Highly recommend! (But do make in a bigger pan...mine bubbled over the first time.)

Made these for Superbowl Sunday. Quite easy to make, but I forgot to add the second 12 ounces of chocolate chips. Seriously didn't miss them. These were just ok for us. Very dense and cake like. I baked them for 45 minutes and they were definitely done. May want to set your timer to 40 minutes and check them then. I wonder if I over baked them....

Excellent recipe. For the second bag of chips that you pour in but don't melt, I used mini chocolate chips. I liked them better than the regular size to bite into in the brownie. I don't see how this could fit into a 9" square pan without overflowing, I used a 9x13 and it filled it nicely.

I made these for MY boyfriend, and he said they were some of the best brownies ever (and he can be picky sometimes)! When I tried them later, I decided that these ARE the BEST brownies I have ever had: absolutely delicious! :) ~I did take into consideration, the change in pans, and used dark chocolate chips instead of walnuts (to save money like another reviewer), but these were really the only changes I made.

Oops forgot to add in the second batch of 12 oz chocolate chips. The result? A bit more of a cake-y brownie. The brownies also weren't too sweet, which I like! Like the others, I used a 9x13 pan. Definitely filled the pan. Can't wait to try this recipe again, this time with ALL the ingredients :)
