The taste was really good, although not as rich as I was expecting. I used the measurements as stated but there was definitely not enough for a 9x13 pan. I ended up using an 8x8 and even that came out much thinner than I desired. Overall though the recipe was good and it definitely cured my chocolate craving (along with my family's). I topped it with vanilla ice cream and warm fudge, which worked really well.
