Um, worse brownies ever. :sick I don't know what's wrong with them. Maybe the organic sugar? It's not super fine like bakers sugar. I didn't have bittersweet chocolate, so I used trader joe's 72% dark chocolate. After tasting the batter, I added 2 oz of semi sweet bakers chocolate I had on hand and it still didn't taste very chocolatey. :shrug I looked online and bittersweet/semi-sweet are supposed to be interchangable. I baked it in a smaller pan and it rose high, crisping the top, but leaving the inside mushy. It caved when cutting into it. Weird. :scratch I'm used to the ghiredelli's mix.

But if they work, I don't care! :giggle

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought they were awful. I had to force myself to finish the pan (who ever thought they'd have to say that about brownies!?! :jawdrop)... and then it was all for naught anyway. :doh :lol

Here's to hoping they work for you! :hug :heart

They beat castor oil any day!

I was reading a food blog last week and came across the recipe for these brownies. Only they were just "brownies", specifically brownies to add to homemade ice cream. I wanted to comment, but resisted the urge. :giggle

That has to be it, as there are NO other ingredients that would give labor a boost. I was expecting them to have RRL or castor oil in them or something! LOL

I don't know, but my stats are two for two! They aren't the best brownies, but I'd rather eat them than take castor oil.
