This is a very simple and delicious recipe. These brownies are so rich and moist they remind me of fudge. I especially enjoy eating them straight from the freezer!

I have to admit I did not follow the recipe EXACTLY, but it was only at the part of putting them in the freezer that I veered. I baked until 27-28 minutes, because the knife was not coming out clean, but maybe that test does not count for this recipe? I also did not have space in my freezer, so I put them in the fridge. The brownies were NOT dense or fudgy, they were dry and crumbly and would have been in the garbage had it not been for the frosting. Is the recipe so sensitive that you can back for no longer than 25 and HAVE to put them in the freezer or what happened? I'd like to make them again, but I hate wasting ingredients on things I dont LOVE...
