I made them yesterday and it turns out great. However, the brownies are a bit heavy as in a little goes a long way. Also, my shiny top is much darker than the one shown on the picture. Please help how to get the lighter shiny top and to make the brownies 'less heavy' so my niece can eat more :). THanks Cheryl, the shiny top comes from melted sugar migrating to the surface; make sure you heat the butter and sugar till they're almost boiling. For "less heavy" brownies, I'd suggest leaving out the chocolate chips (if you added them); or using a different recipe - these are designed to be VERY rich. Perhaps your niece would like a moist chocolate cake instead? Try King Arthur's Favorite Fudge Cake - could be just perfect for her... PJH
