I have actually made these several times but forgot to leave a review. These brownies are delicious! I have never actually used the nutmeg and I bake them in a 13x9" pan for about 25 minutes. They are always very moist and the chocolate rum glaze really makes them great, much better than regular frosting. I have gotten many compliments and requests to make them again. Thanks for the great recipe!
