These brownies are for people who are in a serious, committed relationship with chocolate. If you prefer a mild brownie with a bit of cocoa, then you’ve come to the wrong place.
My family request these often, and for good reason. They’re amazing. Sometimes I bake them in my Bouchon pan and it somehow makes them even better! I would bake them that way every time, but clean up is much easier when your pan is lined with parchment.
Remember that your brownies can only be as good as the cocoa you use, so use your favorite!
