As a human, I love brownies. I believe my dog also loves brownies, but I haven’t tested the theory (maybe someone could invent detoxified chocolate for dogs? like decaf coffee, which I regularly give my dog. Thanks, Science!)
(Just kidding)
Anyway. Best Ever Brownies. I didn’t have high hopes for this recipe after reading some of the feedback from other bakers. Many noted that the brownies took much longer (20-30 minutes longer!) to bake than the recipe indicated, and didn’t turn out “best ever”.
My results were different. Using my regular metal pan (rather than the heavy glass recommended in the book), I baked my brownies only 30 minutes before they looked plenty cooked to me.
They were perfect, fully cooked but still soft. They’re great! Thick, rich, delicious!
I don’t want to say that these are the “best ever brownies”, because a) that’s subjective, and b) who knows when a new brownie will turn up and blow us all away. But, these are definitely the best brownies I’ve ever made.
To weigh in on the “best ever brownie” debate, get the recipe at A Beautiful Mess and try it!
If you have a better “best” brownie, please let me know where I can find the recipe!


I agree, these are the best to date–but I will still keep making new recipes! Brownies have so many variations and I like all of them.
Your brownies looks great. I will have to try a metal pan next.
well done on the delicious brownies. Mine did not turn out too great – perhaps I should use a metal pan the next time.
Lovely color! Great crackly tops, too! :)
They look good.. I baked mine 7×11 glass dish and had no problems with baking time either..
Looks wonderful! These were good – these however are my all-time favorite:

Ooh thanks! I’ll have to try those next. Chocolate + cocoa + espresso powder sounds pretttty promising!!
WE loved these, too! I used a metal pan and only increased the baking time by 5 minutes :)
All-in-all your brownies turned out to be some of the best I have seen so far and I am halfway through the posts. Whew ! Fun baking with you … Blessings, Catherine
There’s something that’s never happened before! :P But thanks! Fun recipe!
These were the best brownies I’ve ever made too!
Yours look like they turned out great!
As always, great baking along with you!
We also loved these brownies, but ours took an extra 30 minutes to bake. Yours look just about perfect. Great job.
