Everyone knows about brownies! Those little blocks of rich, dark chocolate that melt in your mouth, inducing a state of well being with every bite, but for some it is just another chocolate by product you could think of from the thousands. Anyway, this goody when made with the the darkest of chocolate could truly turn a frown upside down before you could say “Jack Rabbit”.
Sensational Brownies
Besides the brownies, the effects of chocolate is also known; all the pleasures, almost sinful to the taste. But no guilt trips there for sure because chocolate can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol. This does not mean it's okay to eat a whole lot of chocolate at any time, because it is still a high calorie food. That means too much and you could gain weight you do not need.
For this dessert, brownies, my wife used dark unsweetened chocolate powder which gives it a taste I can only describe as decadent . Everything about this brownie would excite your tastebuds. It's rich chocolate taste is absolutely sensational!
Long story short, everyone enjoyed the chocolate brownies, and I know you will as well. Enjoy Brownies.

Brownies FAQs:
- How do I know the brownies are done baking? Test by sticking a toothpick midway from the center. If the brownie is done it should be dry.
- Can I freeze the brownies? Yes, Just make sure the brownie cools before you cut it in small squares. Place the slices in a sealed container and refrigerate.

Hi Felix I tried the recipe last night and it tasted really good but I found it wasn’t chewy like a brownie should be, but it was more like a cake consistency.. Where may I have gone wrong or what should I do next time to get it more chewy?
Most likely you beat the egg and the even the final mixture too much. Hope this helps.
