Do you like brownies that are chewy, fudgy or cakey?
Do you like nuts in your brownies or no nuts?
Is there another way you like brownies?
Personally, I like chewy brownies with walnuts. I like a corner piece because I like the edges.

(10,961 posts)Chocolate frosting is a plus, but not required. Walnuts are required.

(7,577 posts)eat them with walnuts any more because of my teeth. My DW gets those box brownies for $1 so we eat to many brownies - especially late night......

(8,954 posts)Get a box of brownie mix and a lid of shake cleaned of stems and seeds. Prepare brownie mix according to box instructions. Add the oz. of dope to the batter and mix gently. Pour and bake according to box instructions. Do a number while it's baking. Let pan cool briefly and then eat the whole thing.

(10,885 posts)the hot (metal) pan of brownies in an ice water bath as soon as they come out of the oven. It supposedly intensifies the flavor by consolidating its elements. Just looked it up online, and apparently it IS a thing. Who knew?

The magical method involves baking the brownies at a high temperature for about 20 minutes, then dunking the pan in an ice bath, which arrests the cooking from the outside in, and very quickly at that. You can, alternatively, shove the pan into your freezer immediately upon removing them from the oven. If your freezer looks anything like mine, youre probably better off with the ice bath. This method means that you must use a metal baking pan, since a glass one could shatter when you take it from a hot oven and plunge it into freezing water.
This works. The brownies are the best brownies I have ever had, hands down. They are smooth and creamy in the center, without seeming raw or underbaked. They are crisp on the top and firm rather than gooey on the bottom, making them easy to handle. They are rich but neither greasy nor overly dense and fudge-like. I think that they are quite possibly the perfect brownies.

(1,368 posts)a couple of weeks ago. Best ever brownie recipe. It fills a half sheet pan, way too much for just one small family, so we shared. Lots of chocolate and walnuts, not cakey.

Someone else can have the edges.
