  • Makes approximately 16 squares
Author Notes

Growing up, I loved the idea of brownies: fudgy, chewy, chocolaty goodness to go. But, most recipes were disappointing: too sweet, too cake-like, too dry. This recipe, adapted from a recipe found on a box of Bakers' unsweetened chocolate squares, is perfect -- no matter who makes them. —annemai

Hi I made these brownies but unfortunately they came out kind of like a brownie pudding, do you have any idea why? maybe give some advice on the sort of chocolate to use? Thanks
