I followed recipe but baked for 30 minutes. They looked great but after they cooled and I cut into them, the center was completely gooey. What went wrong? Should they be in a 9” pan? Definitely NOT going to be given as a gift to anyone.

The recipe does not mention the zigzag white icing on top.

I made these brownies and took the advice of other posters to bake the batter longer (about 35 minutes in a 350 oven). Followed the recipe except I put grated white chocolate on top for a snowy look (before baking). After baking, I drizzled white chocolate on top. The are very tasty chewy brownies.

This definitely took longer than 23 minutes to bake for me. After 25, I turned it down to 325, and it took another 5-7 minutes at least.

My recipe turned out great. I have some thoughts on others' troubles. If I had used a hand whisk the sugar/oil/chocolate/butter mixture would have been grainy. Use a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and mix until fully incorporated/almost fluffy. Cooking time...make sure your pan is metal not glass. Helped it cook faster.

These are good brownies--it's your basic recipe with white chocolate chunks added in. You won't be genuflecting (see: JM's salted caramel brownie recipe for that) but it'll scratch the chocolate itch. Melissa almost always delivers reliably good results.

Step 2: unsweetened chocolate (will be dark); Step 5: white chocolate chunks.

My 12 y-o made these and then hoarded them for herself. I was lucky enough to get one! Good recipe. Moist interior with crispy crust. The white chocolate didn’t melt very well for some reason…might have been our fault for not getting the right kind.

Alisha

I'll start by saying I made these for a potluck and people told me they were the best brownies they've ever had. I did adjust the bake time per all the comments, but please also think of your oven. I went to 35 mins because I worried about them being underdone and it was a bit too long- I would start at 30 mins and check for moist crumbs when inserting a cake tester. Next time I would pull them out right at 30. Don't skip on adding the white chocolate to the top for amazing flavor.

Used 1 cup sugar and coconut oil (melted). So good.

Amanda

This is the best brownie recipe. The end result is moist and fudge-like. 23 minutes was a perfect bake time for me. Any longer would’ve burnt the edges.

fiona

Needs to bake 30 minutes

MG

Started swimming in oil when baking

I added some walnuts for some crunch and I am so glad because it was a great edition! Highly recommend. Like everyone else, it took my much longer then the recommended 23 mins! Almost 45.

Trisha

This is an easy recipe with a delicious result! They were a hit. Like other reviewers have commented, the baking time is closer to 27 minutes.

Steve

I you like gooey, fudgy brownies, you'll love these. For those like me who like light, cakey brownies, you will hate these. I baked them for 30 minutes. They came out like solid fudge. So dense they were difficult to even cut and remove a piece from the pan.

Park Slope

These didn’t work for me. After cooking for the allotted time, they were still raw inside; cooked for 10 more minutes and they were still raw inside. Cooked for 15 minutes on the convection setting and then they were cooked through but too crusty and hard to get out of the pan so too messy to give as gifts. They tasted good good but nothing special. Not a keeper.

Devon

The white chocolate plus the sea salt was a very fun new way to make tasty chewy brownies.

Danielle

The top was nice and cracked but the inside was raw. I baked it for an additional 20 minutes or so and it never solidified. So disappointed! The salt is a great touch for the top, that was the best part.

MLE

It went really well for us.

Tricia

I made these gluten free by using Bob's 1 to 1 flour and they came out beautifully!

FAQs

What are the three types of brownies? ›

Brownie textures fall into three general camps… Cakey, fudgy and chewy. Cakey brownies, like the name implies, are light, moist and airy, with a slightly fluffy, cake-like interior. Fudgy brownies are moist, dense and gooey, with almost the texture of fudge, but not quite as compact.

What does adding brown sugar to brownies do? ›

More brown sugar leads to dense brownies with incredible depth of flavor, but the additional moisture can cause their upper crust to be more solid than delicate as a result. If this is how you love your brownies, great.

How do you jazz up brownies? ›

Add nuts – Add a handful of finely chopped pecans or walnuts if you love brownies with nuts. Add mix ins – Jazz up a basic brownie mix with chopped mini peanut butter cups, white chocolate chunks, or your favorite chopped up candy bar. Add a swirl – Swirl in spoonfuls of peanut butter or Nutella before baking.

What is a New York brownie? ›

Why is brownies changing their name? ›

Canada Girl Guides renamed Brownies, new name Embers meant to be more inclusive The new name, Embers, was approved overwhelmingly by members and is meant to be more inclusive. Past and present Girl Guides said the old name caused harm and even prevented or delayed their joining.

What is the old version of brownies? ›

Did you know that Brownies were originally called 'Rosebuds'? Rosebuds was established in 1914 for girls to join before they became Guides. Just one year later, the name was changed to Brownies. Brownies are the second-youngest members of the Girlguiding family, for girls aged between 7 and 10.

What makes brownies fudgy vs cakey? ›

Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat—in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.

What is the number 1 brownie mix? ›

Given my personal baking criteria, Pillsbury's mix is my top pick because it yielded thick, fluffy brownies that were moist and had a nice chocolate flavor. They baked off evenly, weren't overly sweet, and had a shiny crackled crust and tender edges that didn't dry out.

What happens if I use brown sugar instead of white in brownies? ›

The sweetness level will be the same, but the brown sugar may change the texture of your baked goods. You'll likely notice a more robust flavor, and the finished baked goods' color may also be darker. These color, flavor, and texture alterations come from how brown sugar is made.

Are brownies better with white sugar or brown sugar? ›

Brown sugar also adds more moisture than white sugar, which can be a good thing depending on what you want in a brownie (fudgier brownies use more moisture). Just bear in mind that even with brownies, it's still possible to have too much moisture and they won't set. You may need to add some extra flour to compensate.

Which sugar is best for brownies? ›

Granulated sugar - simple fine white granulated sugar keeps these brownies moist. If you reduce the sugar any further, then they will not be as fudgy and they are less likely to have the shiny crust. If you have access to caster sugar, I recommend using it! Caster sugar is common in the UK and Australia.

What does adding an extra egg to brownie mix do? ›

They give brownies a lighter, drier, and more cake-like texture. If you prefer this over the chewy variety, then go ahead and crack in that additional egg. On the other hand, too many eggs will yield brownies that are hard, heavy, and tough.

How to pimp brownies? ›

Crushed potato chips, pretzels, and salted nuts stirred in or sprinkled on before baking can add textural interest, plus a little savoriness that can make the rich chocolate flavor more pronounced. A shower of sea salt or flaky salt like Maldon over baked brownies before slicing makes for a dramatic, sparkly finish.

What did Katherine Hepburn like to eat? ›

Red meat, big salads, tea, butterscotch pudding, ice cream, meatloaf, homemade cookies… those were some of Katharine Hepburn's most favorite foods.
