Delicious.. I added the glaze to some.. not to all of them. Was good both ways. Net time I think I'll add some cinnamon - 01 Sep 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
These were superb! As moist as any 'typical brownie'. I stuck by the recipe for the brownies, however...I added brown sugar to the glaze to make it caramel. By placing butter, dark brown sugar, and evaporated milk in a saucepan, I let it come to a medium boil for about 3 minutes. Then, beat it into the confectionery sugar and added the vanilla. Made it for a group of 40 and they all loved it! - 29 Jan 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I highly recommend this one. It's so moist and flavorful. I made it and it was all gone in a day. I'll make it again for our family reunion this weekend and I expect grand reviews even there, with my bohemian dessert making aunts... - 06 Nov 2015 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
