The recipe was easy but I received mixed reviews. The BF thought they were too sweet, my father loved them. I didn't like the texture. I'm still searching for the perfect brownie recipe.

These were just okay brownies. I didnt love or hate them. The brownie is almost not sweet enough and the frosting is just too sweet, you would think it would cancel each other out and be ok, but sadly no. Consistency is great though, not too chewy or cake like, a good in between choice!

On the advice of other reviews I immediately made a double batch in a 13 x 9 pan for the first time making these brownies. Now, I don't think I have ever tasted anything as sweet and "chocolatey" as this recipe...I doubled everything in this recipe both for the brownie and frosting. The brownies came out moist; I did use baking powder and eggs even though other reviewers found that using 5 eggs and no baking powder worked; I like my brownies "tall" in the pan. It cooked for about 35 minutes in a glass pan. The frosting is more like a really chocolate glaze. The consistency is not quite like frosting, but does kind of get "candied" as it sits in the bowl. I did not place the frosting in the fridge while the brownies cooled as I usually do with other frosting as I thought it may crystallize. I poured the frosting over the brownies when they were still a bit warm....I did one of those, "holy that's a lot of chocolate" took another bite and decided that I really liked it. I could have cut back on the cocoa powder in the frosting; so if you double it, I would add more powdered sugar and maybe cut the cocoa to 4 or 5 tablespoons (when doubled). I also brewed coffee and poured that in rather than warm water and instant coffee; that may have given it a bit more "kick" I will definitely make these again, but tweak them just a bit...any die hard chocolate fan will be in Heaven!

Instead of the frosting in the recipe, I sprinkled about 1 cup of Andes Creme de Menthe chips on top right after taking it out of the oven and then spread it around after the chips melted. Awesome!

This is an excellent recipe for super rich, fudgy, chocolatey brownies. The taste and texture are very good. I did not change any ingredients in the brownies, but I did double the recipe to make a larger pan. After tasting the brownies, I decided not to add the frosting - they are very sweet and rich and it just seemed like it might be too much yumminess all at once for me today :-)..... I may try to play with it when I have time... maybe reduce the butter and sugar a bit, and then try with the frosting.... we'll see. But if you need a quick and delicious chocolate fix, this will definitely do the trick! Thanks for a yummy recipe. I will definitely make again.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I made a double batch and my entire family loved it! The only thing I changed was the 'frosting', added coffee instead of coffee grounds and I put in about a 1/2 table spoon of vanilla extract. All in all, a great and easy recipe! I am making it again tonight! YUM!!!
