These brownies are SOOOO GOOD! I've been looking for a great brownie recipe and this is it. I was skeptical when I took them out of the oven because they looked a little cakey to me and I like chewy brownies. I frosted them with the ganache and was pleasantly surprised when I cut them up at how moist and fudgey they were. They seem time consuming by the directions but are very easy to put together and the taste is fabulous! I took these to a party today and there was not one crumb left! (someone else brought brownies also and went home with almost a full plate) I would highly recommend these!

This is a truly great recipe - both the consistency and flavor of the brownies are great and the ganache adds a perfect finishing touch. While they were fabulous, in an 8x8 pan these come out VERY thick. I took them to a party and even one brownie was a little too much for some people (since they're so rich and dense). Next time I'll probably try baking them in a larger pan for less time. Otherwise, an amazaing recipe that I will definately be adding to my permanent collection!

This recipe is so good. I made it a couple weeks ago and have been looking for any excuse to try it again. They have been described to me as what would happen if chocolate cake and fudge had a love child. Be sure to cut them small, though, they are super rich.

My favorite for over a year now! I use Ghirardelli chocolate chips and they turn out so yummy! Maybe I'm blessed to live in WI - mascarpone cheese is no more expensive than cream cheese here. I've made the brownies with cream cheese, too, though, since I don't always have mascarpone on hand, and they disappeared equally fast. I see that some reviewers felt the brownies were not sweet enough. Granted, I prefer semi-sweet chocolate to milk chocolate, but even my husband, who has quite the sweet tooth, was smitten with these brownies. As for those who said the brownies were crumbly or dry - I think they may not have followed the recipe to a "T". Follow it exactly (bring ingredients to room temperature, sift dry ingredients, do not over-mix) and you'll fall in love with these brownies, too.

Absolutely fantastic! The only correction: 16 servings? 67 g per serving? Definitely not in our family :)
Next time I am going to try white chocolate ganache and decorate with waves, swirls, etc.

This didn't turn out so well for me. The brownie was hard and not as moist and fudgy as I'd hoped.

I adore these brownies. I've made them 4 times now. I followed the recipe the first time but all 3 susequent times I've used dark chocolate as opposed to semi-sweet. My personal preference, I like the dark much better. I made these yesterday for a chocolate-loving friend's Bday and they were a big hit! The taste is perfection and the texture is incredible.

Just OK. Loved the texture, chewy and moist, but did not love the flavor. Maybe needed more sugar?

I have made these brownies several times, and am always asked for the recipe when I take them to a party. They are extremely rich, so when cutting, you may want to cut them fairly small.

I just made these today..WOW! They are amazing. They are so light in texture and so dark with chocolate. I did add another 1/4 cup of sugar based on others reviewers recommendation. The chocolate flavor was still very intense. These might not appeal to kids as they aren't as sweet as most brownies, they are for those who usually prefer dark or bittersweet chocolate over a lighter chocolate Flavor (candy). I used valhrona cocoa and Girhadelli semi sweet chocolate. Five star, baby...I'll definately make these again.

These were wonderful....although they are extremely rich so next time I shall be cutting them into smaller pieces! I loved them chilled, straight from the fridge with some whipping cream on top for dessert. I used Green and Blacks Dark chocolate which worked really well. My children loved them too.

Wow. I am not sure these should be called brownies - - it doesn't seem fair to the other brownies. These are the lightest, most elegant dessert, but they still maintain a richness that you want out of a brownie. I personally wouldn't bring these to a picnic or leave them out for the kids - - they seem much too fancy for that. But if you make a succulent meal and want to throw an exclamation point at the end of it, then this is the recipe to use.
I used Ghiradelli chocolate and highly reccomend it.

These are a wonderful sophisticated gourmet dessert. These could easily be served in any 5 star restaurant. According to my husband, " they just get in your mouth and give-up, it is like they totally surrender." They literally melt in your mouth. I found them reminiscent of a flourless cake. I used milk chocolate with 35% cacao for the brownies, and a 50/50 mix of bittersweet and milk for the ganache. Baked at exactly 45 minutes and they were perfection on a plate. This is an excellent adult recipe, perhaps not sweet enough for the youngesters palate, but excellent served with a good quality ice cream. Thank you Thank you for making Valentine's Day 2008 very special.

Took a bit of time sorting out how to convert cups to Oz (how do u get butter out of a cup?)but well worth the effort, The end result sent me to chocolate fudge heaven! Easy recipe to follow and not difficult or fiddly to make, I varied slightly from the recipe by using Ricotta cheese and I also did a milk chocolate and white chocolate marbled ganache topping, absolutely divine.
