I love the idea of these brownies, but I think they need more chocolate. I'll add an extra cup of chocolate chips next time.

These brownies are delicious, but they're a bit too rich for me. I think I'll cut the butter in half next time.

I'm not a fan of the chocolate chips in these brownies. I think they would be better with chopped walnuts or pecans.

These brownies are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my brownies turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

Just made these and they are delicious! I used dark chocolate and added some chopped walnuts. The brownies were fudgy and moist, and the chocolate chips melted perfectly. Will definitely make these again!
