"These are not cakey and not "stick to your palate" goo either. These are perfect brownies that everyone requests to take home the rest of the pan or at least the recipe."

These were pretty good, but I used cocoa powder and the brownies had too much of a cocoa powder taste to them. The recipe didn't specify whether to use real cocoa or the powdered stuff. I'll definitely try these again with either real cocoa chocolate or less cocoa powder because I can see that with those tweaks they would be fabulous!
