Reviews
These brownies we're tasty but very rich. They turned out more like a chocolate cake and the frosting suited the texture. I will make again when I feel like chocolate cake.
I made these brownies as per recipe. The brownie was dense. The topping would be better on a lighter, cake brownie. It called for too much frosting and too many nuts. That could be cut back on. It was thick and gooey. It was too rich to eat more than a small piece, unless, apparently, you are young linemen. They loved them. My husband and I cut them up and gave them away. Perfect for the young on fat Tuesday! Not for us. I don't know what I was thinking. They tasted good.
These are delicious!! They make an extra special brownie!
