Best Brownies ever! I have had the recipe printed out and in my book for a long time and never got around to making it until today. I used 24 oz of special dark choc. chips and made them in one 9x13 pan and one 8x8 pan. Came out just right. Love the hint of coffee flavor. Very rich and decadent, with 6 eggs and 1 lb butter how can they not be! The girls at the get together tonight will just love them!

    LOVE 'EM!!! I have made these several times as they are now my standard brownie to take to get togethers. They always get rave reviews and I never take any home. I also use the 11X17 pan and the full 28 oz of chocolate...but I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. Fantastic brownies!!

    These decadent brownies are a chocoholic's dream. I have never tasted brownies that are this rich. Like another reviewer said, these are like eating a cross between a brownie and fudge. They taste like something that would come from a professional, upscale bakery. My entire family loves these! Thanks, riffraff.

    These are so rich its almost a cross between brownies and fudge. I was worried that all the batter would not fit so I used one 9X13 and one 8X8 pan and baked side by side, it came out wonderful, but very rich, so make the servings small and reap the rewards! I did use 12 ox of chocolate chips as that is the size of one bag. Loved them, MUAC!
