This brownie recipe is great! I scaled the recipe down by 2/3rds (i.e. 8 servings) and cooked for 25 mins. They came out perfect - fudgy and rich. Only note is it definitely made less than 8 servings. My pic is of 1/6th of the total amount and it was a small piece, so I’d say the 1/3rd version made more like 5-6 serves (rather than 8). Would definitely make again, especially when I want a small batch dessert recipe.

Easy and delicious. I slightly overcooked them at 30 mins, but my oven usually needs the upper end of the time provided. Next time I’ll cook for a little less time. I nearly missed getting a photo of them!

quick and easy sweet snack. Used up some old Rum and Raisin chocolate I had- extra delish. I also halved the amount of sugar in these as I didn’t want them too sweet this time. I baked mine for 30 minutes and the texture was more akin to a cake than a brownie, so I recommend checking them around 15-20 minutes if you want them fudgy.

Wow these were so easy and yummy to make! It was quick. I would do a little less time to make them a bit more chewy.
