  1. Fabulous brownies, though that may seem a little 'under'-whelming, you must try these! I followed as directed, but the last step (melting the chocolate with the evap. milk) didn't really work for me - operator error, I'm sure. :-) And don't sprinkle the salt too early, as it will melt into everything else. Ha! DH and I are still enjoying them, but they'd be lovely for a sweets tray, or dinner with friend. I also got 16 (instead of 20) small brownies from my 9X9 glass dish; that is plenty big! Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe, weekend cooker; I'm looking forward to making these again!
     
  2. This came out fabulous. So sugary-sweet and delicious. Very indulgent. I recommend letting the caramel truly set before adding the chocolate or slicing; I was a bit over-eager and mine came out a bit messier than the brownies in the photo. But no problem, they still tasted great. One suggested correction: The evaporated milk should not be microwaved together with the chocolate for the topping, I don't think, as this will just curdle the milk and cook the chocolate. Instead, melt the chocolate first and then add the milk and stir until you get the right consistency to drizzle.
     
  3. OMG!! These are so rich and delicious!! I made this as written, but had to use an 8" X 8" pan and also then got the 16 brownies. After eating half of a brownie, I would say that I have 32 brownies, lol!! I couldn't eat a whole one but sure got my chocolate/sweet fix by eating 1/2 of the brownie. Thanks for sharing a great brownie recipe. Made for "Best of 2012" recipe tag game.
     
  4. I made these as directed, and used Fleur de Sel after they had cooled completely. My only suggestion is to pop the finished pan of brownies in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before cutting. I had a really hard time cutting them so they looked nice enough (the topping really gets globbed up on your knife) to bring somewhere that I wanted to impress people ;) They were SO rich, DH said he could only eat one and my co-workers are cursing me for bringing them in! That's always a good sign :)
     
  5. Very Good!
