A. and I are on a hunt for a chewy brownie recipe...and so I googled for a recipe that I could use, hoping to compare the two. However, even though I got the recipe from a completely different place, they were exactly the same. BOO.

This didn't come out exactly as I had hoped...while they are slightly chewy, it wasn't quite the texture I was going for. Maybe I need to google fudgy instead of chewy...I am looking for a recipe that produces brownies like the ones from the Ghirardelli box mix. Too bad I didn't think of that before...because a recipe is here. I would need more ingredients than what I had, but maybe it is worth a shot. Without the nuts.

No picture this time. They just look like brownies.
