I joined just to write and say how good this recipe is. The brownies are crisp on top and gooey in the center. I made the recipe exactly, just no chips, At 15 minutes, they were runny, and at 20 still needed a few more, so I cooked them for 22 minutes total. They are cakey but still nice and gooey in the center. Thanks so much for the recipe, I'll make them again.

Very good chocolate taste. A nice little brownie. Did not use either walnuts or chocolate chips, wanted it "au naturel" the first time. Will however try both next time. Will also try substituting some butter with applesauce. A good recipe to play around with. This baked for 15 minutes and using a 9x9 inch pan I cut the brownie into 12 squares. A little note to myself for the next time, 1/2 cup of butter equals approximately 80 grams. Thanks for posting.
