I had an unbelievable chocolate craving, and these brownies sure did the trick! Very easy to make, and very tasty! Instead of walnuts, I used some slivered almonds that I wanted to use up. After pouring on the glaze, I sprinkled a few more almonds on top. Next time, I think I will make a double batch, as suggested in step 6 - a single batch just disappears too quickly! However, in the directions for making the cocoa glaze, it doesn't say when we're supposed to add the vanilla, so I just added it when I added the butter. Came out fine.

This would probably be 3 stars from me, but dh liked it. My all-purpose flour bin was empty, and I didn't want to go to the basement to refill it, and plus I wanted to make these healthier, so I used whole wheat pastry flour for all the flour. I also added chia and flax seeds, and substituted sucanat for half the sugar. I would try this next time with regular flour; this turned out quite crumbly and cake-y, while I was hoping for a chewy brownie. Not overly sweet, which was good.
