Very, very gooey brownies. I added walnuts and chocolate chips which seemed to give the right amount of crunch to offset the gooeyness. They're very sweet--next time I'll try different sugars (used 3/4 dark brown sugar and 1/4 regular white). Now I'm inspired to find recipes for cakey brownies and fudgey brownies as well!
