TWD: French Chocolate Brownies
and you all know what that means, Dorie Time! Due to busy schedules at work and taking a mini-vacation, I have not had a chance to par-take in the weekly baking club – my waist line is definitely Thanking Me! I was bummed to miss the last two weeks as we were making Madelines and Pecan Sticky Buns, two of our faves around the house.
Thank you to Di of Di’s Kitchen Notebook for choosing an Outrageous recipe. Our challenge this week was French Chocolate Brownies – now one can not go wrong with Brownies! The recipe had a twist thrown in, raisins! Since I was giving this away to a non-raisin lover, I did leave them out and I added some bittersweet chocolate chips. Otherwise, I followed the recipe to a T and it is very straightforward and easy. The verdict …. Lenny said they are “crazy moist” and I have to agree, the moistest brownie I have ever had, at the same time the top is lightly crunchy and flaky.
Pour yourself a big cold glass of milk, grab a book or turn on a movie and sit back and eat yourself into a chocolate bliss, this is definitely ….Sinful!
Beautifully moist and fudgy!
Weren’t these fabulous? I made them on Sunday afternoon and the pan is almost gone.
I love your picture. I agree with you about the big glass of milk. You can’t have a brownie of any kind without a glass of milk.
I had to box them up and take them to work, because I couldn’t control myself and I don’t even really like brownies!
What a yummy looking hunk of brownie! Bravo!
These were definitely chocolate bliss!
Glad you have you back particpating again! Your brownies look so thick and fudgey! Great job!

Ain’t they the best? You have to have the milk.
love your thick and fudgy brownie. wonder why does mine haveb such an awfully thick crust. haha. it was tasty nonetheless!
i’m so jealous that your brownies look so perfect! i had issues w/the crust…
Lenny’s got it right… crazy moist describes them perfectly!
I thought they were super moist too. I was wondering if I had underbaked them. Yours look delish!
chocolate bliss and mini holiday…can i have those too? hehe
I agree with the milk – gotta have it! (and so much easier than making something else to go with it and dirtying up another bowl!
Nice job, glad I popped in to see your blog!
Crazy moist sounds perfect!
Beautiful picture, I never thought of having this with milk, I must try it next time

Thank you for stopping by everyone and for your nice comments! We definitely loved this recipe and it will become a favorite brownie in our house! Crazy Good!
Mmmm, my favorite food group. Chocolate.
They look delicious!
I love it when brownie crusts form. Usually by the time a crudt has formed, the brownies are already too done or dry. These look so moist!
[...] gave them a nice toasty and warm taste. As well we got to flambe prunes in Armagnac, this is the second recipe of Dorie’s that I have gotten to flambe and it is a very fun addition to your baking [...]
