These dark chocolate brownies are rich and not overly sweet. Served best warmed topped with your favorite ice cream! Everyone's oven is different but for more fudgelike brownies bake for about 18minutes - your tester will be sticky. If you prefer more cakelike brownies, bake longer until tester comes out clean. Chopped pecans would also be delicious in these brownies.
