TWD - Classic Brownies



Our assignment for this week's Tuesday with Dorie was to make Classic Brownies, chosen by Anne Strawberry.  There is a lot of divided opinion as to what is a "classic brownie", but these are made with chocolate, no cocoa, contain walnuts, and are cakey rather than fudgy.

Being an Australian, I don't have fixed views on what a brownie should be like, so I enjoyed these.  My only disappointment is that there weren't enough of them!

Thanks to our host, Anne, for choosing this recipe - it will be on her website.  To see what everyone else thought of these brownies, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

I'm working up the courage to make these...that's a whole lot of chocolate going on. Happy that you liked them...am sure Mark will love them as well...when I finally get them made.

I'm glad they were a hit with you! Until I started reading food blogs, I didn't know that people had such strong opinions about brownies. Most of them are pretty good in their own way.

Welcome to our crazy blessed life said...

I agree! There were not enough!

Cindy said...

I thought they were perfect, but I do love brownies!
Have a great week.

I may not have baked them long enough because mine were wet and fudgy inside. I know Dorie said a knife should come out dry but I had already gone over 5 minutes without it coming out dry. I took them out of the oven. I love them this way.

Yours look delectable.

Judy said...

Looking good! Mine disappeared way too quickly!

The fact that you wanted more is definitely proof of how good these were! :D

I think I would be very happy with these as classic brownies but I feel the same as you - never grew up making them so don't feel any strong allegiances - just want them rich, chocolatey and fudgy! Not too much to ask

Hindy said...

Your brownies look gorgeous!

Becky @ Project Domestication said...

I enjoyed these very much. Next time I'd like to play around and add chocolate chunks for fun.

Glad you enjoyed them. I agree...there can never be enough brownies.

Anne said...

I'm with you, a rich chocolate brownie is yummy whether is cakey or fudgy. Your brownies look great, thanks for baking with me!

Pamela said...

When the good stuff is gone, I often complain, too. They looked great!

In all honesty, the only brownies I've ever made came out of a box LOL (I really am my mother's daughter I guess).
*kisses* HH

Looking good - guess you'll have to make another batch soon! ;)

Amanda said...

There can be quite a lot of discussion about the correct consistency of brownies with some people being utterly pedantic about them. I, on the other hand, will very happily eat a brownie of any style - especially if someone else has made it.

My mother loves brownies (probably more than any other baked good), so they were a common treat when I was a kid. She prefers the fudgy ones and I have to say that usually I agree! However, I've had some amazing cakey ones (people in Kansas are big on brownies, too), so I like to think I have an open brownie-mind. :-)

Jennifer said...

Love the look of your brownies!!!!:)

Julia @Mélanger said...

Oh my gosh, classic brownies indeed. These would last 5 minutes in my house.

Elaine said...

Those look so deliciously gooey!
