Ahhhh, Alton Brown's recipe. I was looking to see if anyone had posted this yet. This makes the best brownies ever... rich dark chocolate flavor and dense velvety texture. Sifting everything gives it that wonderful smooth fudge-like quality. After the initial 45 minutes I added baking time in 5 minute increments until the toothpick came out mostly clean - probably an additional 15 to 20 minutes later. Soooo good! These stayed very moist during storage in the fridge for several days too. Thanks for posting!
