I found my recipe on AllRecipes.co.uk, there were several and most had good reviews so opted for one that had no nuts (did I mention I don't like nuts of any kind, legume or human! Ha ha!) and used melted chocolate rather than cocoa.
I was a bit concerned about the amount of butter in this recipe but like I said, never having made brownies before I had no idea. Well, I was right to be. They came out a little greasy and therefore tasting a bit too much of butter. Beyond that the taste was nice, chocolatey although a tad sweet for my taste.
In terms of texture I didn't like these. When I went to remove them from the tray, they fell apart - I wondered whether they were cooked (even though the skewer came out clean) so I ended up putting them back in the oven for a while, but it didn't improve. They were overly gooey and I couldn't even get a decent square from the tray without it falling apart.
Safe to say I won't be making this again and will be scouting a different recipe with either less butter or more flour. If you happen to try it and have more success, let me know. Or if you have a good brownie recipe please share it with me!
