I wonder, did you use large eggs? The recipe is written for large eggs, and using medium or smaller would certainly result in what you describe - as might using eggs you collected yourself, or bought from a friend or neighbor. Other than that, the cocoa brand shouldn't have made a difference, nor does cocoa really become more or less moist - though you certainly might have had somewhat of a heavy hand when measuring. Is that a possibility? The way we measure cocoa, it's 3 ounces per cup. At the end of the day, though - so glad the brownies turned out well. Enjoy! PJH
