Enjoyed the brownies; especially the frosting. So did my neighbor, who'm I shared these with. We'll definitely be making these again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I am sorry that I cannot give a better review. While this is an awesome chocolate cake, it is not brownies.

These were great, but I am going to make mine with 2 eggs next time. They were a little crumbly. I prefer my brownies a little more fudge-like. The flavor was awesome though.

Oh yeah! I ran out of the regular baking cocoa powder and through in some Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa-and they were incredible. Thanks for sharing!

Holy cow were these wonderful!! Very moist...somewhere between candy and a brownie. I used 1/4 cup coffee liqueur in place of the water in the brownies, and I also used 2 tsp of coffee powder in the frosting instead of 1. Took them to a church barbecue and people loved them as much as I did.
