To those that requested this today: the brownie recipe


400g Dark Chocolate (you need stuff with about 50% cocoa solids, so not uber green & blacks etc)
125g Butter
1 mug soft light brown sugar (I think this is about 75~100g)
3/4 mug plain flour (about 125g, i think)
2 eggs

melt the butter with 250g of chocolate (I just put it in a microwave for 30s)
add the flour and sugar and cream together (can help to sift them both to remove big lumps)
add the eggs
add the remaining chocolate as chunks
pour into a lined baking tray (I use tin foil, makes it easy to remove)
bake at 150C until a knife comes out clean and the brownies look solid on top (about 40min) 

Then either eat hot and molten or leave overnight to solidify

Cheers

How much cream? :) (I wasn't there but this looks like an awesome recipe!)

No cream other than the verb (i.e. to cream sugar and molten butter together). 

Sorry :p

Oh! I misread it. Well, to be fair, it was ambiguous ;D

Definitely going to make them though, om nom nom. Thanks!

I recommend making them in a shallow tin. I used a loaf tin, and the large slices that resulted were almost lethally rich.

For Science!

the uber goo version that have been my best version were about 1cm thick and made using a shallow tin

The thickness and temperature really determine gooyness. You can also do cunning things like using a very hot pre-heated oven and running it at a low temperature when you put the brownies in to get a more fully cooked top and a gooy base
