This recipe was on its way to a 2-star rating until we tasted the brownies; they are great, although very rich, and the taste is worth 5 stars. However, I ran into problems when baking them. I followed the instructions exactly (except for melting the chocolate and butter in the microwave) and baked for the full 30 minutes, until the top crinkled and edges pulled away, just as the recipe said (I know my oven was the right temperature because I have an oven thermometer). I let them cool completely but when I cut them into squares and tried to remove them from the pan, it was impossible--still way too gooey and they just fell apart. I tried putting them in the freezer for a while in case they needed to be colder, but it didn't really help, so the whole pan went back in the oven (minus the mutilated one I had tried to take out) for another 25 minutes or so until they seemed to be done. After that, I was able to cut them into squares and separate them, but they were still very moist and soft. Definitely something to make only occasionally and eat in very small quantities, otherwise way too rich.
