These are the best brownies I've ever made and possibly ever have eaten. They are dark and very chocolately without being sweet. The texture is perfect - lush, moist and rich. These are not for someone who likes cake-like brownies but if you like your brownies fudgy without being soggy these are fantastic!

Wow, what a terrific brownie recipe Bev. These little gems are the bomb. So rich, decadent and full of flavor. I was in chocolate heaven for at least 15 minutes after I finished my first brownie. Then I had another and another. I'm going to have to hide them so that I don't eat them all myself. The brownies were wonderful, crisp on the outside and fudgy and perfect on the insde. Thanks for sharing a new family favorite.
