Just took these out of the oven, waited the 5 minutes instructed to run a knife around the edges, and a little corner tore off. I will never make another brownie recipe again, ever.

I left out the chocolate chips and swirled with really creamy unsweetened peanut butter coz I was originally going to make cookies but I didn't have the time or energy to do cookies tonight and Bill aleady had his taste buds set for peanut butter cookies in his lunch.

These are gonna be awesome! Oh, yeah! :9

1. SO the 'little corner' was good, eh?

You WILL report about Bill's reaction ? ? ?

2. Morning, Ellen.

We'll see. They are packed in his lunch today so he hasn't tasted them yet. I have some in my lunch for later, too.

Some of the things I really liked about this recipe is that it didn't flatten all over, it rose and stayed there. It also didn't sink in the middle. I did have to bake it longer than the recipe suggested but that could be my oven, or the fact that my pizza stone is on the shelf below. I'm finding that keeping it in the oven does cause underbaking on some things. You wouldn't think so, but it has been my repeated experience.

I'll report back later today. Have a good one! :hi:

3. I haven't tried that recipe (have the book). I like my brownies fudgy/chewy.

4. Okay, I just ate one of the ones in my lunch

for my mid-morning snack. :D They are very good and they are dark and fudgy tasting my they are cakey rather than chewy, as you would imagine with four eggs in it. Now that I think on it, it was supposed to have a shiny, crinkly top but it didn't. I imagine that was because I swirled the peanut butter through the top.

You might want to try it with one or two fewer eggs but I can't speak to what the structural results would be, but I'm thinking it would be even fudgier and chewier that way. :shrug:

7. You know,

now that they've sat for a while, they really are kinda chewy and less cakey. :9
