I would like a recipe for very moist/chewy chocolate brownies. Very
often, brownies tend to taste dry to me. I suppose I'm looking for a
fudgy brownie in texture and taste. Anyone got a good one they'd like to
share?

One thing you can do is to simply add to the recipe you have. If you put lots
of chocolate chips or chunks in it and then glaze it with chocolate and
amaretto, like I did once to plain old brownies, they can be transformed!!!

Enjoy.

Heather.

If you have web access, go to our homepage: http://www.cookbooks.com and take
the 'Recipe Postings' link. There is a recipe there for 'Caramel Brownies
(Choco Bars)' which is very good. My wife makes this recipe often and she
always gets asked for the recipe! If you don't have web access, let me
know and I will either post it here or email it to you.

Or, you can just try baking them a few minutes less.

Whenever I don't feel like making a batch from scratch and use a
pre-packaged dry mix, the back of the box says to bake for 33+ minutes,
and I always bake for a few less minutes and they are very moist.

These are very moist and keep well, if they last that long.

Here's one that looks great but I haven't tried yet. It's from Homemaker
Magazine.

The Ultimate Chocolate Brownie

3/4 cup butter
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate (3 oz.)

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.
In stainless steel bowl set over a saucepan of hot (not boiling) water,
combine butter and chocolate; stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat;
let cool to room temperature. In large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs
for 1 minute, until pale yellow; stir in vanilla. Stir in melted chocolate
until well combined. In samll bowl, stir together flour and salt. Gently
fold flour mixture into chocolate mixture until well combined; fold in nuts
and chocolate. Spoon batter into pan; bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until
mixture pulls away from sides of pan but is still soft to the touch in the
centre (do not overcook). Let cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into
squares; frost, if desired, andtop each brownie with a pecan half.

Per brownie (without frosting): 293 calories, 20g fat

Good luck, let me know how they turn out.

Here is the recipe I use the most (if I have chocolate in the house I
eat it before I can make brownies with it :D). The secret in looking for
other recipes is the more eggs the better & DON'T OVER BAKE them!
Enjoy!
Margaret

Cocoa Brownies

1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. butter
1 c. cocoa
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9 inch pan. Melt shortening &
butter over low heat or in the microwave. Remove from heat & add cocoa,
blend well. Add sugar & mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beat well
after each addition. Stir in vanilla, flour, & salt. DO NOT OVERBEAT!
Fold in nuts. Bake 25-30 minutes.

Here's a brownie recipe that has celebrity approval ------
Have you ever watched the old T.V. series Happy Days? Well there was
a character in Happy Days called "The Fonz" who was super cool (at
least in the 50's he was!) The Fonz was played by Henry Winkler who
now produces a lot of good movies. This story is from Diane Clement
a well known cook, cookbook author and owner of a neat little cafe
called The Tomato which does delicious catering , oh I'll let her tell
the story:
Diane Clement:
"Henry Winkler, the Fonz on Happy Days to millions, was in Vancouver
(British Columbia, Canada), in the spring of 1993 to direct a film and
tasted our brownies at his wrap party. The next day I received a
phone call from his wife in Taluka Lake, California, requesting we
Fedex 3 dozen brownies that day to his home to surprise him when he
arrived the following day. At first I thought someone was teasing me.
But when the woman gave me her Visa number and told that Henry had
phoned her that morning to tell her he had tasted the best brownies he
had ever eaten. I yelled to my staff "It's for real!" Then the fun
began. In a mad rush we whipped them up, packaged them while warm for
couriering and then Jamie (one of the co-owners) and I dashed off to
the Federal Express office at the airport. They were delivered as
promised on time and since then they're known as Fonzies Brownies.
But the story doesn't end there. In February 1995 Henry returned to
Vancouver to do a new movie, and we got a phone call from California
asking us to deliver 12 brownies to Henry Winkler's hotel with the
following note attached: "Dearest Henry, have a wonderful shoot, We
love you, Stacey (his wife), Jed, Zoe, and Max. Well, Henry, your
Tomato pals love you too." From At The Tomato - Recipes and Tales
from the TOMATO Fresh Food Cafe by Diane Clement
So Here's The Fonz's Favorite Brownies Folks
The secret to these brownies is not to overbeat the batter, treat it
gently and it will produce the ultimate brownies! The Fonz would I'm
sure enjoy our brownie sundae experience, featuring the utimate
brownie, ice cream, and our own chocolate sauce, and topped with
whipped cream. Wild!
FONZIES BROWNIES
Makes 9 good-size brownies.
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 cup butter
Melt together and set aside to cool. In a medium size bowl, whisk
together the following (just until blended), don't overbeat:
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Blend slightly. Add a
1/3 cup sour cream and blend slightly again. In a small bowl, blend:
3/4 cup Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Add to the chocolate batter and blend slightly. Fold in another 1/2
cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Pour into a 8x8-inch greased pan.
Bake at 350 degrees oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. Don't overbake;
they should be slightly soft in the centre. They will firm up on
cooling.

NOTES : This is the recipe that won the Temple Emanuel
Brotherhood-Sisterhood Dessert Contest in 1986. Cleanup can be
concurrent with later steps, so that there isn't too bad of an aftermath
in the kitchen, but these do take a lot of work.
