very chewy.But going by this recpie, this brownie is too oily and too fudgy. The sugar strength ruined the taste for me. My baking pan was very adequtely dusted with flour, but the brownies stuck to the bottom, like mud. I had to scrape the remains and reattach them to the brownies. Fiasco! This is not the perfect balance of sugar and squidginess. -
This is a beautiful brownie & yes, a fantastic frosting! Thank you.

Hi it's fun to be part of RecipeZaar! I work full time and in my spare time I like to experiment in the kitchen. I also enjoy small hikes, biking and the outdoors. I look forward to travelling to new destinations in the future.
It is always nice to try different tastes from different restaurants. I enjoy trying to recreate some of the memorable meals I have shared with my husband. He is more than willing to attempt any of my kitchen creations. I am an avid cookbook collector and my husband teases that I could open my own library! I guess I am always seeking that "perfect recipe". I have found many great recipes here on Zaar and I think some of the greatest cooks are on this site!! I hope you enjoy the recipes that I share with you. Have fun! Decadent1
