So sorry I’m just now seeing your comment!

No, in my opinion, the chips aren’t absolutely necessary. They add more richness and “gooeyness” but you definitely don’t have to have them.

Just wondering, before I make these, are the chocolate chips necessary? Or is the amount of cocoa sufficient enough for that chocolately fudgy texture? Or would taking out the chocolate chips have to be subbed for more cocoa powder?

Just made these brownies (half the recipe) and eureka — a thin flaky crust formed! I have been trying for the last 6 months to find a recipe that could do this; all I ever got were cakey brownies, no matter what I did. I thought it was my oven, but the sugar melting technique proved to be the answer. Thanks. I’d better make the double recipe next time, because I don’t think these will last the night with my kids!

This design is spectacular! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

I'm a huge fan of this recipe, too! I've served them up with peanut butter frosting, German chocolate frosting, and cream cheese frosting, and used them as the basis for Peanut butter cup crunch brownies. Always a huge win!

Hi, I made these and they were very good but not the best ever – the inner consistency was good but not amazing. However, they were better the second day and even better the third day! Warming the butter to dissolve the sugar certainly helped for the flaky/shiny crust though – so thanks for that tip!

Thanks,

Simonne- sometimes you have to keep microwaving the sugar mixture together many times over to get it properly melted- it can take some time. Mine had to keep going back in the microwave several times before I got it right. Sorry you didn’t get the crust on top- hopefully they still tasted great, though!
