    I have had mine in the oven for about 25 minutes now it's not anywhere near being done in the middle. 18 minutes seems a little short for brownies. Other than that is looks to be a wonderful recipe and I'm looking forward to digging into them :-)

    Made these today in a 9x9 pan and the peanut butter layer was so thin! There's no way I could have spread it over a 9x13 pan. They are still delicious, though. I think maybe it needed more than the 1/3 c. peanut butter the recipe calls for?

      I agree! I made the 9x13 pan an it was sparse to say the least. same goes for the ganache. The picture does not represent well.

    There is no way to get a moist fudgy brownie with 1- 1/3 cups flour. Mine came out light and fluffy like a cake. All we can taste are eggs! There is a problem with this recipe. A waste of time and ingredients.

    I also tried to rate this recipe ONE STAR, but it showed up as five stars.
