These are super yummy and SOOOOO rich. You definitely only need a bite to feel like you've indulged. I subbed half milk and half white chocolate chips, but otherwise made as directed. The only problem I had was that even after 40 minutes in the oven, the brownies were still really underdone, but as I didn't want to overbake them I took them out and let them cool. They solidified enough to cut, but in the future I will leave them in longer.

Holy Cow! These are really good - and really rich. I made a pan yesterday morning and they're going fast. Thanks.
