There are so many TH-camrs doing cooking. What makes yours best is: You clearly measure and show the ingredients. You directions are so clear, and you present everything in an order that can be easily followed. When you are done, you show the results in a very believable way. I just recently started viewing your videos, and I am now looking for all that I might have missed.
I, too, enjoy their videos for the same reasons. So many cooking TH-camrs will skip over some details and then if you ask them questions in the comment section, they never answer.
I so agree - now I haven't made every recipe, but it helps so much that Melissa puts the recipe and I don't have to write everything down. Quite a nice touch.
I really like the way that he gets his explanations very detailed because it does help you understand the reason behind the mixing and the baking and how things are supposed to look or the consistency I like that
Tip: to cut hot brownies use a plastic knife. It slides through like butter making a clean cut with no dragging or sticking. Really truly always works! Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thank you for sharing so precisely and with all your tips. Love your channel, have subscribed and always give a thumbs up!!
I made these brownies today and words cannot describe how good these are! I’ve never had a better tasting brownie! In my opinion they don’t need anything else. I had planned to melt marshmallows over the top and then add a chocolate ganache. I’ve had brownies like that but I enjoyed these just as they are. Thanks for the recipe. I’ve already shared mine with family and next door neighbors!
We are so happy you've made them and enjoyed them. We really appreciate that you let us know how well it went. And thanks for sharing with your family and neighbors!
For those who don't have a sifter: I use a med-large wire strainer. Put the flour & dry cocoa powder into the wire strainer and shake the igredients together over a large bowl. Any tiny lumps can be pushed through by hand or spatula. Do it twice if needed.
I got a majority of the ingredients from Amazon ❤️ I finally made this brownie recipe yesterday. (08/30/2023 I did exactly as you instructed and those brownies is truly the best I have ever eaten ❤ I made homemade strawberry/orange ice cream the day before ❤ I was craving ice cream and brownie and I finally got my sweet tooth dream ❤ I have to tell you it is the absolutely the best ❤️ I will add this to my personal cookbook ❤️ Thank you so much Tom and Melissa for a great video ❤ Much love and BIG HUGS from Roswell, New Mexico ❤
@@janicevango5791 That butter-chocolate bowl, after scraping, pour hot milk in to make a chocolate drink. Also, even if you hate nuts in brownies (they soften up quickly), some roasted and broken pine nuts impart delicious flavor.
People I can tell you these ARE the best brownies!!! I made these exactly according to the recipe and my son and his friends and my family. All noticed the difference and these are the only brownies they want when they request brownies from this point forward. They really are delicious. I don't know how the center stays nice and creamy. But they're still chewy and oohy and gooey. And with a really are the best brownie I think I have ever had!!
Definitely have to try these, I love how you never waste anything left in the bowl, also love how you always clean up after using each ingredient. Melissa is a great videographer,great team work. Really wish I could come sit at your table !
Just a note to let you know I did make this recipe, and it was out of this world ! I dusted the tops with confectioners sugar, and it was just the right note of sweetness for me, and I used my all corners pan so that every bite had equal crusts. Thanks again. This is art.
When I have to sift things together what I do is sift it on a piece of wax paper fold the wax paper like a funnel and while my mixer is running I pour it in to the mixed try this and see if that will work better than having to remove your beater love the recipe can’t wait to try it my granddaughter is all the time making brownies from a box going to teacher her your homemade brownies God bless and have a wonderful time in Florida keep the fantastic recipes coming
Thanks for your very detailed recipe and video. I've been making brownies since i was a preteen. I also use both bar chocolate and my fav hershey cocoa I use the special dark chocolate and espresso or left over coffee, the batter technique to beat the batter for 10 minutes is what i will surely incorporate. The next batch of me edible brownies i will use your recipe. And will make sure i drop the pan 3x's. Don't know how i found your channel but I'm glad I did!. 🌷
Tom & Melissa - I just found your channel within the last few days. I am already addicted. You make real food that is "real good" (I put in quotes since that's not proper English!)!! Thank you for opening your kitchen to all of us and sharing your treasured recipes. I cannot wait to try so many of them. You two are so lovely!! P.S. The dropping of the pan - I first came across this step in Barefoot Contessa's Outrageous Brownies recipe. She has you "rap the pan" against the oven rack part way through - just as you do on the counter. I think it does make the brownies more dense. Your recipe has some similarities to hers, with the addition of cocoa powder and, of course, proportions are slightly different. I will try yours!!
NOTE: I read somewhere that slamming the pan (3-times) helps to pack-down the batter. As you so expertly explained, the 10 minute mixing adds Air (PS it also keeps in moisture) which, with the help of the egg whites, will make the batter rise, causing deeper fissures which, when you're Icing, is not desirable. PS: May I suggest Starting with your eggs & sugar mix so as to work on your chocolate/butter in the interim... AND Yes, though the Icing isn't necessary, don't we all like doing things cause we Want to not cause we Have to
We enjoy the flavor when the espresso powder is added but we realize it might not be for everyone. We really appreciate that you've watched our video. Thank you.
@@susansawyer2475 in my neck of the woods dark Molasses is carob and it has a flavor I use it to make brown sugar but this recipe already has brown sugar dosnt hurt to try 👍
I did this recipe as I watched! And no wonder that my brownies used to be a bit overdone!😢! Not this time. I finally made perfect brownies. Thanks for sharing!!
Omgosh! New to you channel and I’m hooked, oh shucks 😛 I love every one of your recipes I’ve seen. And…I really admire how you scrape every bit off your utensils & bowls so as not to waste a speck!! It drives me nuts to see other shows where they waste so much. Grrr! Mom taught me never to waste anything. She saved every scrap of bread in a paper bag to make bread pudding. She comes from the horrors of the depression and thanked G-D for every scrap she saved. Amazing, how something so delicious that came from scrapped bread🙏🏼 G-D bless you
Just made these ! 😋 Wonderful! I only had dark cocoa , and it only changed the coloring of the brownie to almost black. But I’m going to tell you. These are the “world’s best brownies”. I added nuts to just one side of the pan. Because I love them. 😂. But others in my family prefer not to have them in theirs . It worked out as a perfect solution Ps. Our old home town coffee shop always made their hot fudge with the left over coffee from the pot. They were famous for their hot fudge syrup they put on their hot fudge Sundays. This was back in the 60&70’s. Wish they were still around 😋
I have been looking for a brownie recipe with that crusty top forever. My mom made the best brownies I ever tasted but I never could get her to show me how.
I am sad your mum wouldn't share her recipe! Like my father-in-law.!! Some of my very best memories are cooking and baking with my beautiful mum and now with my daughters and I don't understanf people who won't share recipes
Perfect. My 36 year old son is PICKY when it comes to brownies. Can Not be cake-like whatsoever. Chewy, and loves a little layer of certain frosting on the top. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings your way from Massachusetts
Congratulations for the example you and your spatula are setting for your audience. I hate tv cooks who fling half their product in the trash. Great cooks waste nothing. Also suggest a half teaspoon of cinnamon and a quarter teaspoon of cayenne. Texan and Mexican confectioners add these along with the coffee and they add a tiny surprise. You'll be glad you tried them. I'll bring your brownies to our next church potluck. No nuts or buttercream for this mujer. This is pure goodness 😊.
Tried this recipe but added walnuts and marshmallow swirls on the top. Thought my tried and true recipe was the best ever but this one is better!!!! I shared them with my neighbor and she immediately wanted the recipe. It is now my best ever brownie recipe. Recommend highly.
This was a wonderful time watching you instruct us on creating your marvelous brownies.. can't wait to try them... They look so delicious. You are a very talented chef. Sincerely from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California. 🙋🐾🧑🦽🐝👍🇺🇸🙏💕🌻
I am back to see more of your videos i just keep watching what you do for us and your are so amazing to watch your video and stories of everything that you have done for us now I addicted to watch your videos on TH-cam then you dictation when you cooking are so amazing to see you guys are so amazing and you are so sweet to watch your page but I love watching you guys are so happy to see
Thank you Tom and Melissa for the #Brownie recipe and the amazing camera work. I hope you don't mind if I offer two ideas to try sometime with your recipe? 1) After you have poured the batter into the pan, wrap up tightly and leave in the fridge for 3 days. 2) After baking them... within 30 minutes put the still warm pan into the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes. Wrap up and leave for 24 hours. These are bakery tips for the most intense and moist brownies. You might want to experiment and see if it improves them. Lastly, the reason for 1) and 2). 1) like making cookie dough/pie pastry/ pizza dough you are allowing the flour to hydrate and flavours to meld together. 2) Putting the brownies in the freezer shortly after baking traps moisture inside so they don't dry out as fast and give you a softer/chewy bite. Thanks for the video.
My husband and I really enjoy your show and have fixed many of your recipes. I’m fixing dinner for a large group next week and am wondering how well your brownies freeze. Surprisingly enough, I already have the expresso powder! Thank you!
You can freeze them. They will be fine. Just don't frost them and freeze them. If you want to frost them, give yourself a little time to do that once they thaw. Have a great time at your dinner party! I love having friends over like that!
The only thing I would change is the cocoa powder to the extra dark (red label) The instant espresso is a real game changer. I’ve added it to brownies I’ve made. My mom who hates coffee (loves the smell) loved the brownies
I just found your channel today ❤ Brownies is my favorite, oppose to a cake ❤ I watched this video, your lasagna, your recipe for the breaded tomatoes, and your fruit cake, which i will definitely have to try ❤ I want to try all of them recipes ❤ Tom is like me ❤ When making anything, I also scrape all of the goodness out of the bowl or pot ❤ I subscribed, and hit the notification bell ❤ Thank you so much for all your videos Tom and Melissa ❤ God Bless and happy cooking ❤ Much love from, Roswell, New Mexico ❤
Hi Tom and Melissa! Brownies are my very favorite and I love them way too much lol…I’m definitely making these brownies ❤ Thank you’ens for sharing your recipes with us 😊
Hello, this Recipe is making me so hungry right now. Beautifully done. I have a Hint that i learned from experience was to take a spoon and slowly stir the flour, or Cocoa Powder to Moisten it. Then it won't be a problem when you start the mixing process. I love your channel and Thank you for sharing your Great Cooking , Baking and Recipes. God Bless.
What i really like to do is add banana slices, a layer of cheesecake or vanilla pudding, and then a layer of whipped cream to my brownies and eat them chilled! SO GOOD. I will have to try this recipe with my toppings!
I have made this brownie 3 times already this week, of course to share them. I frosted them with the icing from Texas sheet cake, I love this chocolate icing because it sets up and makes any brownie be a little less mess to eat….thanks so much for this LOADED chocolate brownie recipe, yummmmm
Good recipe. You could make even better with a couple of simple extra steps in your method. Brown the butter, and chill your brownie batter overnight or for a couple of hrs than cook from cold in a non pre heated oven for 30 min. Chill again. Perfect crust with fudgy centre. No need for icing.
The brownies look great can't wait to make themselves my husband loves brownies so thank you for the recipe this is the second time I have seen one of your posts the first one was your chocolate cake you made for a get together with your friends it was 3 tear cake made it so so good thank for all your hard work putting all these recipe together!❤
Just got finished watching… cannot wait to make them … your a natural in from of the camera… and the video was just great… love all the detail you go into ……..thank you
Well I will give these a try, but I am definitely in the ‘death on frosting brownies’ camp…lol. If ya want frosting, bake a freaking cake! 😁😁I do wonder, however, with as much baking as you do, why don’t you use real vanilla? It is so much better than imitation and really worth the price. I will add mini dark chocolate chips to the batter and let them melt in the oven (a trick I picked up from Ghirardelli’s).
Some of the really good brownies I’ve eaten had melted marshmallows on top with a chocolate ganache drizzled over them. So that’s how I’m going to try this recipe the first time I make them. This truly does sound like the best brownies in the world! Thank you. God bless oh my my! That is the creamiest brownie batter I have EVER seen! I was thinking the same thing….dropping them makes them fudgy not cake-like.
I love how you scrape everything instead of leaving stuff in the bottom or on the spoons. That's how I do it. Waste not want not. I'm going to for sure try this recipe. How ever, not leavening?? Must be all the eggs.
Melissa does a great job as your camera person. 😊 she's great at "following" you around and even gets around your left handedness 😅. Kudos to you Melissa. ❤
Another winner... I love love love brownies, and since it's Valentine's Day, I am going to make these for my hubby. Thank you for sharing!! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!💝
oh i just love you sir !! and being from WV to boot makes it better Hello from TN, all my mothers side is from WV .. no kidding your one of the best on here ! THANK YA
Tom and Melissa, l plan on writing down all your recipes because they all look yummy! Thank you for sharing these recipes. Tom, you are another Martha Stewart . My dad loved to cook and back. Thank you for your excellent instructions.😅
I’ve been looking at your channel and I like that you are really good at describing the recipes and you don’t waste anything. I can’t wait to make these. Nothing better than a good brownie. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
We definitely agree that you should not be wasteful in the kitchen. And I personally agree that brownies are one of the best desserts in the whole world!
When a cake "falls" it's more moist. Dropping the brownie pan at the half way time mark "assures" the brownies to fall so they're more moist and a little fudgy. Some people help get that result and drop the pan before putting it on the oven to remove some of the air added while in the mixer.
Great tips you have in your comment. Thanks so much for sharing that with us all. We are glad to have you at the table with us and we wish you a very happy new year.
Thank you so much for the recipe and a special thanks to Melissa for the written recipe, it is such a big help to me. The brownies look delicious, I can't wait to try them.
Tried this and it didn’t work out using the melted butter method, so I used the creaming method and it worked out perfectly. To be honest I literally dumped everything in a bowl and didn’t even measure half the ingredients. Surprising how just improvising can work better sometimes!
@@comesitatmytable9044 I'm not sure if you guys like Disney, but the new ride based on PRINCESS AND THE FROG has Details from NOLA SWAMPS. I was on Swamp tour with Animators from Disney.
EXCELLENT Video... EXCELLENT Filming and Editing... Love this video Thank you both for such a Perfect Video (I am an Acting Teacher and I give both of you an A+) "Bravo Darlings... Bravo" I will watch the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting too... YUM I can not wait to make these for my Acting Students...
I have never seen a Brownie recipe that has both chocolate and cocoa powder in it. Usually it is one or the other. I am definitely a chocolate over cocoa fan, but I am intrigued by this recipe.
I LOVE buttercream frosting!! In fact it is the only frosting I like so to find out you are doing this frosting is exciting. I also see you have a video on making said frosting.....yea! God Bless!
I recently discovered your channel and I love how you carefully explain the directions! I’m baking these brownies for one of my grandson’s 16th Birthday! He loves chocolate and his Mom (my daughter) thinks he will love them! Thank you!
Very clear directions ! I make an almost instant frosting for my brownie recipe. Take 1 large package of Chocolate Peanut Butter Chips and place them in a medium sized microwave bowl. Heat for 2 minutes and stir until melted. Place the melted mixture on top of a 9x13 pan of brownies. Spread the frosting on the brownies and let set until the frosting is solid.
Tom thank you for giving us all your techniques and telling us why you would do it that way🤗 I will be making these brownies just the way that you taught us to do 👍🤗 They look Marvelous ‼️👍👍🤗😁
I’m looking forward to trying these. I want to try before and after your icing recipe. I bet the dropping helps make the cracks too. I’m a Ghiradelli Purple box brownie girl and they’re so hard to find,so I’m looking forward to trying these! ❤ chocolate!
I AM SO BLESSED FOR FINDING THIS CHANNEL! I have watched 2 videos and am NOW HOOKED! I have ALL these ingredients and am going to bake these brownies in the morning! I can't wait! Thank you so much! I hope your channel grows for you! All the love from Arkansas Ozarks✝🏚🎻
Made this today. I baked it for 37 minutes. I think I’ll decrease it by 5 minutes next time because my son in law likes a softer center, but it was still delicious! Thanks, God bless.
Instead of sifting, if you don’t have a sifter, whisking the dry ingredients in a separate should still be okay? Is it okay if any of us do it that way? Also, do you encourage experimentation with your recipes as well as flexibility?
I think these look amazing. Gonna try to make them. When I make brownies, sometimes after buttering the pan real good I coat it with raw cane sugar. It gives a slight sugary crunch and is so good! I learned this from a bakery Called yans bake shop at crown city in kc when I worked there as a young girl.
What is the actual weight/measurement for the butter please.? Our butter in Australia doesn’t come in the sticks you have. It is in either 250gram or 500gram blocks. Thanks so much. Love your channel
Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦 I have to say you two are adorable! Could I please ask if you have the measurements in Metric? We are still behind the times here...😂 I really want to try these!! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!
My bf loves brownies so I made some the other day using a boxed mix. Of course they were delicious but, I’m betting ur recipe knocks it outta the park! TYSM for sharing! Can’t wait to try these. Gotta finish the current pan first though…lol.🍫🍫🍫 🤤🤤🤤
I plan on making these brownies but I'm so impressed with you that you actually know how to use a spatula. So Many Cooks on television lead so much stuff in the bowls and you made sure everything was taken out just like I do so I will watch you all the time because I get stressed out watching the others
Thanks for sharing. I just made them and waiting for them to cool. I was a little disappointed that you didn't cut into the brownies to get an idea what they look like.

No baking soda/powder - guess that would make it fluffy and not so chewy...
That sounds like my Mississippi Mud Cake! Yum
I imagine you have to pack up 1/2 your kitchen when you go to Florida for 6 weeks yearly and still film!
For those who don't have a sifter: I use a med-large wire strainer. Put the flour & dry cocoa powder into the wire strainer and shake the igredients together over a large bowl. Any tiny lumps can be pushed through by hand or spatula. Do it twice if needed.
Me too
And if you dont have a wire strainer, use a wisk

Espresso powder doesn't make the brownies taste like coffee but, it does make the brownies taste like dark chocolate instead of fudge chocolate.

Lastly, the reason for 1) and 2). 1) like making cookie dough/pie pastry/ pizza dough you are allowing the flour to hydrate and flavours to meld together. 2) Putting the brownies in the freezer shortly after baking traps moisture inside so they don't dry out as fast and give you a softer/chewy bite. Thanks for the video.
on step #2 when you say wrap and leave for 24 hours are you saying leave in the freezer or refrigerator ?
My husband and I really enjoy your show and have fixed many of your recipes. I’m fixing dinner for a large group next week and am wondering how well your brownies freeze. Surprisingly enough, I already have the expresso powder! Thank you!
You can freeze them. They will be fine. Just don't frost them and freeze them. If you want to frost them, give yourself a little time to do that once they thaw. Have a great time at your dinner party! I love having friends over like that!
The only thing I would change is the cocoa powder to the extra dark (red label)
The instant espresso is a real game changer. I’ve added it to brownies I’ve made. My mom who hates coffee (loves the smell) loved the brownies
That’s me! I don’t like coffee to drink. I think it smells great. But it adds so much to this recipe.
Would instant coffee work?? I don’t drink coffe either but I do have a small container of instant coffee.
@@kayparks8382 it should. I’ve used instant coffee in other baking recipes
I need to get one!
@@kayparks8382Yes instant coffee works too.
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing
I just found your channel today ❤ Brownies is my favorite, oppose to a cake ❤ I watched this video, your lasagna, your recipe for the breaded tomatoes, and your fruit cake, which i will definitely have to try ❤ I want to try all of them recipes ❤ Tom is like me ❤ When making anything, I also scrape all of the goodness out of the bowl or pot ❤ I subscribed, and hit the notification bell ❤ Thank you so much for all your videos Tom and Melissa ❤ God Bless and happy cooking ❤ Much love from, Roswell, New Mexico ❤
We love your message! And it’s so nice to have you watching from New Mexico!
I AGREE!
Hi Tom and Melissa! Brownies are my very favorite and I love them way too much lol…I’m definitely making these brownies ❤ Thank you’ens for sharing your recipes with us 😊
We hope you enjoy them. Thank you so much for watching our video.
My new cooking buddy 😊
Hello, this Recipe is making me so hungry right now. Beautifully done. I have a Hint that i learned from experience was to take a spoon and slowly stir the flour, or Cocoa Powder to Moisten it. Then it won't be a problem when you start the mixing process. I love your channel and Thank you for sharing your Great Cooking , Baking and Recipes. God Bless.
What i really like to do is add banana slices, a layer of cheesecake or vanilla pudding, and then a layer of whipped cream to my brownies and eat them chilled! SO GOOD. I will have to try this recipe with my toppings!
Sounds good!
I have made this brownie 3 times already this week, of course to share them. I frosted them with the icing from Texas sheet cake, I love this chocolate icing because it sets up and makes any brownie be a little less mess to eat….thanks so much for this LOADED chocolate brownie recipe, yummmmm
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Love the detailed instructions. I’m going to find the chocolate buttercream recipe. Thanks y’all!!!
I agree! Nuts do not belong in brownies!! Fudge, yes! Brownies, no!!! BUT frosting doesn’t go on brownies either. A delicious brownie stands alone.
Good recipe. You could make even better with a couple of simple extra steps in your method. Brown the butter, and chill your brownie batter overnight or for a couple of hrs than cook from cold in a non pre heated oven for 30 min. Chill again. Perfect crust with fudgy centre. No need for icing.
My mouth is watering! I have no self control when it comes to brownies and would probably eat half the pan.
The brownies look great can't wait to make themselves my husband loves brownies so thank you for the recipe this is the second time I have seen one of your posts the first one was your chocolate cake you made for a get together with your friends it was 3 tear cake made it so so good thank for all your hard work putting all these recipe together!❤
We really appreciate that you have watched another one of our videos. We love hearing this!
Just got finished watching… cannot wait to make them … your a natural in from of the camera… and the video was just great… love all the detail you go into ……..thank you
look so delicious 😋 Thank you for sharing ❤
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Absolutely delicious! And the chocolate buttercream frosting will surely take take these brownies over the top!
Yes indeed! Thank you so much for watching our videos.
Well I will give these a try, but I am definitely in the ‘death on frosting brownies’ camp…lol. If ya want frosting, bake a freaking cake! 😁😁I do wonder, however, with as much baking as you do, why don’t you use real vanilla? It is so much better than imitation and really worth the price. I will add mini dark chocolate chips to the batter and let them melt in the oven (a trick I picked up from Ghirardelli’s).
Hi
@@AwaisKhan-zd8fd hello
hello how are you
@@AwaisKhan-zd8fd Not great, but I’ll heal. And you?
Definitely need to try this recipe, thank you 🌟🌟🌟
Some of the really good brownies I’ve eaten had melted marshmallows on top with a chocolate ganache drizzled over them. So that’s how I’m going to try this recipe the first time I make them. This truly does sound like the best brownies in the world! Thank you. God bless oh my my! That is the creamiest brownie batter I have EVER seen! I was thinking the same thing….dropping them makes them fudgy not cake-like.
Your marshmallow addition will be a great one! Thanks for watching. We appreciate it and loved your comments.
Marshmallow Fudkins - I have my sister’s recipe. They are, thus far, the best brownies I’ve ever had.
I love brownie thank you for sharing. I'll try this recipe.
Love the dropping tip to take the fluff out for a chewy dense brownie. Thanks!!
I love how you scrape everything instead of leaving stuff in the bottom or on the spoons. That's how I do it. Waste not want not. I'm going to for sure try this recipe. How ever, not leavening?? Must be all the eggs.
Melissa does a great job as your camera person. 😊 she's great at "following" you around and even gets around your left handedness 😅. Kudos to you Melissa. ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words!
I have come to realize that When I need a Delicious Recipe for Dessert I will look for Y’all recipes that I have your Channel 😊😊

I can see Tom likes to cook.He does a good job. He would have loved my husband because he loved to cook to god rest his soul 21:07
I’ve been looking at your channel and I like that you are really good at describing the recipes and you don’t waste anything. I can’t wait to make these. Nothing better than a good brownie. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
We definitely agree that you should not be wasteful in the kitchen. And I personally agree that brownies are one of the best desserts in the whole world!
When a cake "falls" it's more moist. Dropping the brownie pan at the half way time mark "assures" the brownies to fall so they're more moist and a little fudgy. Some people help get that result and drop the pan before putting it on the oven to remove some of the air added while in the mixer.
Great tips you have in your comment. Thanks so much for sharing that with us all. We are glad to have you at the table with us and we wish you a very happy new year.
Thank you so much for the recipe and a special thanks to Melissa for the written recipe, it is such a big help to me. The brownies look delicious, I can't wait to try them.
3:05 “Did it babe?”
Background “It did not”
Me: 😂
Tried this and it didn’t work out using the melted butter method, so I used the creaming method and it worked out perfectly. To be honest I literally dumped everything in a bowl and didn’t even measure half the ingredients. Surprising how just improvising can work better sometimes!

EXCELLENT Video...
EXCELLENT Filming and Editing...
Love this video
Thank you both for such a Perfect Video
(I am an Acting Teacher and I give both of you an A+)
"Bravo Darlings... Bravo"
I will watch the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting too... YUM
I can not wait to make these for my Acting Students...
I have never seen a Brownie recipe that has both chocolate and cocoa powder in it. Usually it is one or the other. I am definitely a chocolate over cocoa fan, but I am intrigued by this recipe.
I LOVE buttercream frosting!! In fact it is the only frosting I like so to find out you are doing this frosting is exciting. I also see you have a video on making said frosting.....yea! God Bless!
This is the best food channel on TH-cam !!!!!!
Wow Tom and Melissa your Brownies look Soooooooo and I know they taste Yummy. 😊❤🙏
Ms. Ruby
I recently discovered your channel and I love how you carefully explain the directions! I’m baking these brownies for one of my grandson’s 16th Birthday! He loves chocolate and his Mom (my daughter) thinks he will love them! Thank you!
Very clear directions !
I make an almost instant frosting for my brownie recipe.
Take 1 large package of Chocolate Peanut Butter Chips and place them in a medium sized microwave bowl. Heat for 2 minutes and stir until melted.
Place the melted mixture on top of a 9x13 pan of brownies. Spread the frosting on the brownies and let set until the frosting is solid.
Thats an impressive recipe! Thanks for sharing
Tom thank you for giving us all your techniques and telling us why you would do it that way🤗 I will be making these brownies just the way that you taught us to do 👍🤗 They look Marvelous ‼️👍👍🤗😁
Y'all are so loved for your recipes.
Fantastic....it looks like "Nevada" in the meadle of a hot "summer"....from São Paulo, Brasil 🎉🎉🎉
I’m looking forward to trying these. I want to try before and after your icing recipe. I bet the dropping helps make the cracks too. I’m a Ghiradelli Purple box brownie girl and they’re so hard to find,so I’m looking forward to trying these! ❤ chocolate!
We are very happy that you have watched this video. We hope you try it soon and love it as much as we do.
Love your videos! Thanks
Really looking forward to making these. Thanks so much
I AM SO BLESSED FOR FINDING THIS CHANNEL! I have watched 2 videos and am NOW HOOKED! I have ALL these ingredients and am going to bake these brownies in the morning! I can't wait! Thank you so much! I hope your channel grows for you! All the love from Arkansas Ozarks✝🏚🎻
Made this today. I baked it for 37 minutes. I think I’ll decrease it by 5 minutes next time because my son in law likes a softer center, but it was still delicious! Thanks, God bless.
Instead of sifting, if you don’t have a sifter, whisking the dry ingredients in a separate should still be okay? Is it okay if any of us do it that way? Also, do you encourage experimentation with your recipes as well as flexibility?
I think these look amazing. Gonna try to make them. When I make brownies, sometimes after buttering the pan real good I coat it with raw cane sugar. It gives a slight sugary crunch and is so good! I learned this from a bakery Called yans bake shop at crown city in kc when I worked there as a young girl.
Tom and Melissa, I’m watching this at 11:45pm and I’m about to lose my whole mind. I must try this. It’s an unusual recipe!
I love watching your videos. So exciting.
What is the actual weight/measurement for the butter please.?
Our butter in Australia doesn’t come in the sticks you have. It is in either 250gram or 500gram blocks.
Thanks so much.
Love your channel
They look fabulous and I'm fussy with Brownies ! I'll add chocolate chips and just dust them with icing sugar 🥂😋
Thank you for watching. We hope you’ve had an opportunity to make these brownies. We think they are fabulous.
Holy Moly they look amazing! Going to get the ingredients to make these today! Yummy!
We hope you enjoyed them. Thank you so much for watching our video!
Wow Looks Amazing , I cant wait to bake These Brownies .
Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦
I have to say you two are adorable! Could I please ask if you have the measurements in Metric? We are still behind the times here...😂 I really want to try these!! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!
My bf loves brownies so I made some the other day using a boxed mix. Of course they were delicious but, I’m betting ur recipe knocks it outta the park! TYSM for sharing! Can’t wait to try these. Gotta finish the current pan first though…lol.🍫🍫🍫
🤤🤤🤤
Hope you enjoy these. You can really never go wrong with brownies, in my opinion!
I recently found your channel. I'm loving it! Thank you!
We are very happy that you have found us! Thanks for joining us at the table.
I JUST LOVE his thought process "WHY WOULD YOU NOT?!" My new life motto LOL
I plan on making these brownies but I'm so impressed with you that you actually know how to use a spatula. So Many Cooks on television lead so much stuff in the bowls and you made sure everything was taken out just like I do so I will watch you all the time because I get stressed out watching the others
Thanks for this recipe. ❤
Thanks for sharing. I just made them and waiting for them to cool. I was a little disappointed that you didn't cut into the brownies to get an idea what they look like.
Looks awesome. I laugh at all the coffee makers all over that kitchen. Lol.
Your videos are priceless! Thank you for sharing.❤
What a nice compliment. We truly appreciate those kind words.
Looks delicious!
