Hi there! The Test Kitchen has not made this recipe with one less egg, which is what we would normally suggest to create a more fudge-like brownie. In this case, we believe that baking the brownies for 5 less minutes than the suggested baking time, or after a toothpick inserted in the center comes out fudgy/wet. Enjoy!

I will definitely make again, but I will use a different brownie mix next time. I used Betty' Crockers, Fudge Brownie mix and the texture came out more like a cake than brownie. All in all, it was very easy to prepare and the frosting is the best!

That should be because of the liquid called for. This recipe (which I just saved to my "recipe box) has too little oil and much too much liquid for a brownie texture.
