We just made the recipe, without the icing, we put in 1/2 cup chocolate chips instead of the walnuts because my one son doesn't like nuts---wonderful! Light, cake-like brownie, not too sweet; we had it with ice cream. When it was done, it looked done lol so, no guessing if the inside was going to be cooked thru--we really enjoyed this one, thanks!
