Brownie
Dense, fudgy squares loaded with dark chocolate and butter, with a crackly paper-thin crust on top and a gooey center underneath. The line between baked and underbaked is razor-thin — and that is exactly where you want to land.

FAQ
They were overbaked. Check with a toothpick at the minimum time: it should come out with moist crumbs attached, not clean and dry. Brownies continue cooking from residual heat after you remove them from the oven.

Пекла вчера на день рожденье сына, все гости спрашивали рецепт. Шоколад берите хороший, не экономте на нём, от этого зависит весь вкус. Я добавила грецкие орехи ещо — вышло обалденно.
Melt the chocolate gently for brownie — a double boiler or 20-second microwave bursts with stirring between each. Overheated chocolate seizes into a grainy, unusable mass. Take your time; chocolate is unforgiving.
