The taste of these brownies is very rich and chocolatey! I realize they are called Ooey Gooey, but I'm wondering if mine are more gooey than they are intended to be? I followed the recipe exactly... omitting the walnuts and adding some white chocolate chips instead... but after letting them cool down 45 minutes DH wanted one while still warm.... extremely gooey in the middle... there was no way these would cut out into perfect squares like shown in the picture. Maybe I should have waited until fully cooled to cut? Although this uses a ton of butter and sugar, I would like to make these again and see what happens. These sure did satisfy our sweet tooth! Ok I had to change my rating because after 40 minutes of baking and strict instructions not to overbake, these were no where near done. I later baked them for 25 minutes more and I guess after that you could say they were done, but still very odd and very messy. I went over ingredients time and time again and know for sure I did not make a mistake. I will try again when I have extra eggs and sugar to spare! So sorry, wish these would have worked better for me...

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p> <br /> <br />I'm a homeschooling mother of seven, a labor doula, childbirth educator and apprenticing midwife. <br /> <br />I love to cook, it's a great creative release for me. I usually use a recipe as a jumping off point, changing it as it works for us. <br />When I post a recipe if I don't site a source you can assume it was one of my own creations which is likely to be a simple one dish kinda of thing. With a large family I'm all about easy and tasty. A recipe doesn't get posted unless the kids loved it. <br /> <br />My star ratings <br />5 stars- Loved it! the family loved it and it will be added to my main cookbook <br /> <br />4 stars- Really liked it, may make a change or two and add it to my main cookbook <br /> <br />3 stars- Like it, may make it again, but it probably won't be a regular addition <br /> <br />2 stars- it was okay, but not likely to make it again with out many changes <br /> <br />1 star- not very good, would need to make several changes for our family's taste, won't make it again. <br /> <br />I'm very honest in my reviews and whereas I don't like giving low reviews I will. I won't try a recipe unless I think my family would enjoy it and I will review it.. <br /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/tisht/?action=view&current=tish1.jpg target=_blank><br /></a> </p>
