48 hours of baking. A pound and a half of chocolate chips, another pound of cocoa powder, 5 pounds of chocolate, $30 worth of vanilla extract and many, many tastings.

You might have wanted to check out Adam Ragusea's video about brownies. He used a very scientific approach which might have helped a bit with developing the recipe
After the brownies are done poke small holes in the pan of brownies and lightly or heavily if you want drizzle sweetened condensed milk
Are Chris's questions so many and interesting? Maybe?
Have you considered ADDING THE ZZAZA?
“It works but is it great? No.” 😂
This is why we haven't seen him much 😂 144 brownies 😳
3:05 So you don't lose them.
Of course I want them attached!
Vanilla extract 🤢
Did not control the tasters at all? They probably judged the brownies differently day by day depending on how hungry they were and what they ate that day
Dude is so humble, he needs to understand we appreciate and respect his expertise how ever nerdy. All Chefs are nerds about our craft
Am I the only one seeing 100tabs open in chrome at 15:16 ? That's some serious research…
technically dissolving of the sugar… not melting
Was fun to watch. At the end I would have suggested you put the cocoa powder in with the melted butter/sugar mixture to bloom it in the warm mixture. That would have lended even more complexity without an additional step.
Mmmmm k but ask Brad. Mark? Katherine? ASK BRAD. TRAITOR.
200g 70% dark chocolate, 2-3dl sugar(depends on how sweet you want it, 1 dl flour, 1tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 eggs, 150-200g butter(can use oil to help keep it moist, add 50g oil and remove 50g butter e.i 150g butter 50g oil.) 1-2 tbsp cacao powder(depends on how dark and chocolate you want it.
Melt butter with chocolate, beat eggs with sugar to add air. Mix two bolws together and add cacao, last add flour just to combine. 400F/200C 10min or 350-180 12min and done
Put in fridge to get it cool. It's extremely chocolate and rich and not that sweet with 2dl sugar.
I kinda found this amateurish… dude asks for advice but then shoots down the feedback because he doesn’t like it. There’s just so much wrong with his methodology in adjusting ingredients it’s aggravating. The variables he’s changing sound like they are “scientific” but that’s just not the case. He’s like the generic discount version of Alton Brown. Not a fan.
I made this recipe yesterday. The only adjustment I made – I added cut chocolate instead of chocolate drops and added nuts on top. 25 min in oven. It was overdried, almost burnt on sides. My boyfriend asked me to throw it away. The most humiliating experience in my cooking life. I cried all night long. What did I do wrong?
Can I make this vegan? :((( <3 <3
I want to be his friend so bad
Why are some people extremely arrogant 😂
You can get a super crackly surface with a sugar eggwash.
you're a layer of indeterminate fudge!
I love browning butter. It's a HUGE difference in taste
Without diminishing anyones skills there at BA, I could live with it being all Chris… if you know what I mean!
creaming the eggs and sugar to ribbon alwaysmade the best brownies. that and using cocoamass which is nolonger availablein grocery stores. made the best brownies.
i just want to say that on camera, at least, nobody really seemed to be "arguing" about sugar. I only saw suggestions and preferences.

❤❤❤❤❤ love brownies
So I can’t help but notice, there is no levener?
I don't like the chips
So much wasted energy. It’s BROWNIES.
