I doubled the recipe because I had the feeling a 9x9 pan of brownies would not be enough, and boy was I correct. We did not bring any brownies home and my husband almost missed out on having one at the party.
The Review
on a scale of 1 to 5
- Overall Rating: 4
- Recipe Difficulty
- Rating: 1 (easy)
- If you can make chocolate chip cookies from scratch, you can easily handle this recipe
- Taste
- Rating: 5 (good)
- With all the butter in this recipe, it is difficult for it to be anything but tasty
- The use of brown sugar instead of white also gives the brownie a richer taste
- The chocolate chips blended well with the brownie batter
- Texture
- Rating: 4 (good)
- The overall texture is very similar to chocolate chip bar cookies
- The brownies were a little tough, but I think it is because I overcooked them just a bit (I cut off the edges because I considered them to be too tough to take to the party)
- Husband's Opinion
- The husband liked the brownies (even the edges). He was quite nervous that he almost missed out on having one at the party.
- Hints and tips
- If you make a double batch, you will need to cook the brownies for longer than 25 minutes. I baked my for close to 50 minutes, but I think next time I will try 40 first.
- Would I make these brownies (bars) again?
- Yes. These are a nice change from an all chocolate brownie while still having some chocolate taste.
