Hi.. this is my first time at King Arthur and am really glad that I found the website.. have been trying to make brownies with glossy top for ages with no success. Will try to make them ASAP. Only question is I use both cocoa powder and chocolate bar when making my brownies. Will it be ok if I melt the chocolate with butter then add sugar once the butter has melted. Is there any other suggestion?? Thank you so much. Welcome, Grace- Yes, go ahead and melt the chocolate with the butter, then add the sugar, then reheat till very hot, as the recipe directs - that should work fine. Good luck with those shiny tops!
