I'm not a huge fan of brownies, but these were really good. They were fudgy and moist, and the chocolate flavor was really rich.

These brownies were a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked them. Next time I'll try baking them for a few minutes less.

I thought these brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
