We baked this recipe in 2 small pans and it cooked fine but my family did not like these brownies. They were truly picture perfect but too bad they didn't taste as good as they looked. Very dense brownie was not cakey at all which I liked and some others did not. The taste was the only thing lacking in this recipe for me.

what cooked fully was excellent, but most of it didn't cook enough even after an hour baking.

YUMMY!! Turned out very well, not too chewy, not too cake-like! Very simple as well, which is a huge + in my book :) I heated the chocolate & butter in the microwave, rather than stovetop, and turned out fine. I also sprinkled M&M semi-sweet baking candies on top, just for fun. My 3 year old "helped" me make these, so the added candy sprinkles were the perfect "job" for her. :)

Very good. I added a handful of chocolate chips, as well. My only note is that I burned the brownies slightly, so will reduce the cooking time in the future to 25-30 minutes.

Following the recipe exactly, I did come out with one of the best fudgy consistencies I have ever tasted in homemade. The problem is the chocolate is lacking. I'm going to try it again with an extra square and see if that fixes it.

I have to disagree with those that found this brownie fudgy. They were cakey and crumbly. I suspect the 4 eggs are the culprit. Also, it seemed there was a slightly flat taste to them. I used Ghirardelli chocolate, which I already know I like, so maybe I didn't add enough salt. I continue my search for the perfect fudge brownie....

I was afraid of making homemade brownies because all the recipes I've seen always looked complicated and too many ingredients. Not this recipe. I had everything already except for the chocolate. They were simple to make and tasted delicious! My husband is a big brownie critic and he ate 3!! Needless to say, I will be making again. I did not use 4 eggs but 3. I think my only complaint is that it was a little too cakey but next time I will use only 2 eggs and see if it solves the problem. I also baked them in a 9x9 pan. We like them thick and a 9x13 would just be too thin. I baked an extra 7-8 minutes. **update** I think I have perfected this recipe. Only use 2 eggs and bake in a 9x9 pan for 30 minutes. I add abot a cup of semi sweet choc chips to the batter as well and it is WONDERFUL!! They turn out thick and fudgy, just the way brownies are supposed to be.

I only had a 9x9 pan, so I just baked them a little longer than the time stated, since it meant they would be thicker. They were still chewy and good. My family said they were perfect. This is my new go to recipe for brownies.

Very delicious, but they kind of fall apart. I would say good to make for your own home, but not necessarily to take anywhere!

This was a very good recipe! My family loved it! It was very fudgey! I'm sure that I will make this again, but I am looking for a recipe that is not as cakey.

Do you like it when it sticks to your teeth and tongue? I do! Very good ones. Did not put nuts in it, but will try with chocolate chips next time. A keeper
