I loved it, seemed a little sketch at first but they turned out amazing. I would recommend creaming the sugar with the butter, also make sure you don't overcook them! I made a cream cheese frosting to go with it

This recipe is amazingly easy and very tasty. I added 1 cup of thawed pitted cherries. Delicious.

It come out rlly good! It tasted like brownies, tho sadly here wasn't "lava" cuz i overcooked it. Bu still, five starts cuz that ain't the recipe's fault!

This is a pretty easy recipe to follow. I have used rice flour to make these gluten free and it worked out very well.
