Not a total flop! Simply bake in 8 X 8 pan with no changes to recipe. Frosting, did a bit of adjustment as using smaller pan. 1 cup pwd. sugar, 3 tbl. butter & just enough Amaretto to blend icing consistency. Didn't use milk or vanilla. I'm keeping this one. Mercy me-good job, I've saved, can't believe this has not taken off, will save forever.

These brownies were a total flop. There was hardly enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan, so despite my best efforts they overcooked. The icing was a unique vanilla color, but very runny and I couldn't get it to set at all, even after adding more icing sugar and putting it in the fridge. Although I thought these sounded delicious, it wasn't a good recipe at all and I won't use it again. I even contacted the chef to ask for advice before posting this negative review, but I didn't recieve a response :( Sorry.
