I noticed in your instructions you only mixed 1/2 cup sugar with the butter. At one point did you mix the rest of the sugar into the mix? The original instructions I have from a flour bag called for adding all of the sugar to the melted butter in a sauce pan or microwave, I used a saucepan. When I did this, I could not get the sugar to completely melt no matter how much I stirred so I did not get the shiny top. It was still a great brownie, but did not look as nice as yours. The recipe and post does say to melt all of the sugar with the butter! If you continue to have problems with your brownies, I would suggest giving our Baker's Hotline a call so we can troubleshoot together.-Jon 802-649-3717
