These rich brownies are topped with a thin layer of glossy chocolate icing while still warm. Yum, yum!
As this recipe's first reviewer I was hoping to offer better than this average, 3-star review. Yes, they're good. Moist, lightly chocolate and more cake-like, just as the submitter describes. Still, I have a few criticisms that wouldn't allow me to rate them higher. First, there are holes in the cake, which in my view is not pretty, whether it affects taste or not. My fault, possibly, but I generally don't have that problem. Second, the preparation requires a little more monkeying around with than it needs to and could easily be simplified. Finally, there is just nothing uniquely special or stand-out about them to distinguish them from other, similar, recipes. Good, but not memorable. - 17 Jun 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe is very much like my Texas Sheet Cake recipe. It is very moist delicious more cake like than the chewy brownies that I have traditionally made. It is very good for a change. I would list it as a cake recipe not a brownie recipe. - 19 Jun 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Moist, cake like brownies. There isn't much flavor, so if there is a next time, I'd have to make extra strong coffee (maybe 3 T instant to a cup of water!). The frosting is smooth and rich. I was surprised when frosting was put it on the hot bars, that the bars didn't absorb it! - 24 Jun 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
