    I thought these were the best Passover brownies I have ever had. I made no adjustments with the exception of lowering the temp 25 degrees because I have a convection oven and the cook time was perfect. My family loved them.

    Don't tell my mom I think these are better than her recipe. Enjoy these with a glass of cold milk and life is very very good. A couple of good brownie techniques also make these a standout: 1.

    These are definitely for the chocolate lovers. Very fudgy! I did have trouble with the bake time. At 30 minutes it was still really jiggly and at 35 minutes my knife came out totally batter coated. I ended up baking them for about 45 minutes. The insides were very moist but the top and sides - Read more ...

    This recipe was absolutely delicious!! It waas so rich and chocolately! My whole family thinks that it is the greatest Passover item that they have ever tasted. These are one of the best brownies I ever made. I made them before Passover to try them and everyone wanted to eat them before Passover!!
