I'm not sure these were worth the effort..... all the chocolate chips sank to the bottom and stuck there. Betty Crocker is definitely easier and tastes better. My d?ughter loves brownies and she barely ate any.

For costing at least $7 a pan (and that's with buying all the ingredients on sale over the course of a few months), these brownies don't taste as good as the $1box of Betty Crocker brownie mix. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement, particularly with all the 5-star reviews. I used high-quality ingredients that I trust with all my other baking that turns out wonderful. The only new item was the can of chocolate syrup and I assume that was the culprit for the chalky taste and gluey texture. Not sure if the syrup should have been a specific brand. The texture of mine also looked nothing like the photo.The frosting was tasty and set up nicely in the fridge, which is why I still gave the recipe 2 stars.
