Classic Brownie

By Rumblingtummy @RumblingTummi
I have been thinking about baking a brownie but with such hot weather, I really have no mood until I saw a fellow baker baked this Classic Brownie and she gave a good review on it.  
That motivates me and so I went for it to beat the blues. 
Classic Brownie
It is really good and just our kind of brownies that we like.  Fudgy and really chocolatey considering even though not that much chocolate used.
Learning: I added 70% dark chocolate as I like it that way.  Since I don't have that size pan, I baked mine in 7" and 8" pans.
I would prefer a taller brownies but since it is so fudgy, I think this thickness is good too.
Initial thought is that it might be sweet but I decided against reducing to 200g which is my standard for all bakes.  Luckily I did not as this turned out just nice.
Thanks J for sharing.
