I've been pondering the idea of making them, but thinking I would only be allowed a sliver. Either way, thanks for the post, I may need to rethink. Thanks! YUM, these sounds so delicious.

I have made them countless times and every time they are a huge success. I even won a brownie bake-off at work with them. I have tweaked the recipe a little wherein I use all the extra bags of chocolate chips that I have floating around in my kitchen. Instead of the usual 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips, I recommend the following quantities/types of chocolate chips: 4 oz of Toll House regular sized chips, 2 oz of Toll House mini-chocolate chips, 4 oz of Callebaut chunks, 2 oz of big, fat Guittard chips. Some of the chocolate chips melt, others are still fairly solid and still have some weight. Also, if you don't like nuts, leave them out, just decrease the cooking time by 25 minutes. Oh! and one last tip, wait until they are totally cool before cutting them. They do firm up, I promise! I love these brownies! I have made them countless times and every time they are a huge success.

They are not only outrageous but intense and difficult to mess up! I also find that I can get almost 80 brownies out of this batch ... the serving size of 20 is so decadent that each brownie can be cut in quarters. Thanks for sharing!

After having the rare opportunity to meet her, in January some friends and I made it a goal to take one of the Barefoot Contessa's cookbooks and make at least one recipe a week from it. I've made all but approx 4....she is simply amazing. I love that you featured one of her delights. I’ve made these fabulous brownies countless times (as evidenced on my waist).
