Chewy Brownies…..Yay Success !

I have made so, so many different batches of brownies

Okay….let’s just say I stopped counting on 17. CRAZY!! See I have been on a mission to find a great brownie. I loved the Duncan Hines box ~ yep I did well they changed their formula. I even wrote them countless times about this THEY just did not give a rip! So, I have tried many wonderful brownies, I have. I did really like Thomas Keller’s but oh dear me they cost a lot with all that high quality chocolate in them, but hey for a fancy evening we’ll see and I am sure that will be fine. I wanted one that was like the box kind, a good balance not to sweet, not to gooey I wanted chewy really chewy some tooth to it! I just never could find it, Cooks Illustrated, Gourmet, Bon Appetit….cookbooks. Just ask the boys I made a zillion no kidding but hey we love em !! We do ! None measured up to what I wanted and you know we all have different ideas right! Well in my little world these ROCK!!
