Fudge Brownies

"This is the ultimate fudgy brownie; great for chocolate lovers. There is just enough flour to hold the butter, chocolate, and eggs together. They are so dense, these treats need 2 hours to cool. The recipe comes from the Ultimate Brownie Book."

  1. I made theses yesterday and everyone loves them. They say its the best thing that I have ever made and they are amazing! the brownies came out gooey on the inside. Only thing i did diffrent was not using unsweetened chocolate because i had none so i just used 12 ounces of the semi-sweet chips instead. They still came out fantastic
     
  2. Extremely good! Very fudgey and rich. I think the key to to make sure you don't burn the chocolate and make sure you beat the eggs and sugar for the full 5 minutes. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. The brownies were ok. Im sorry but nobody really liked them. Mine had a strange flavor to them. My 3 yr old son was about the only one who like them. Maybe I will try making them again someday, incase I did do something wrong.
