  Olive really does have some great recipes, she must be a wonder cook! I made this for friends at work and for my family and everyone went mental over them. Each one is like a gooey, cakey, chocolatey, velvety melt-in-your mouth brown brick. I had a disaster making them though. The dish I used to melt the chocolate was too small so chocolate was leaking everywhere; then the tin I used wouldn't fit in the oven! But it was well worth persisting. These are luxury brownies that no one with decent taste buds will refuse!

  I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. Perhaps I didn't get it right, but thought I'd followed it exactly. Found the brownies a bit dry and so extravagently rich that could only have little bits at a time.

  Having been disappointed with brownie recipes in the past, I found this one worked wonderfully. The brownies are gooey, dark and richly chocolatey (just as they should be!), and while they look quite dense and heavy they actually melt in the mouth. I would say, however, that it is so rich you will easily get more than 12 portions. Definitely one that I'll be making again!

  Took at least three times the cooking time in my oven, and its a fan oven, but eventually, they turned out fantastic! Got 12 very generous sized portions - my partner and I couldn't get through them all, so he took the remainder into work - they went down a storm!

  Wonderful rich brownies, though they took just over half an hour to cook rather than 20 mins. Small portions work better with this level of richness - I'd say nearer 24 than 12. These will be getting made again - though I'll probably add cherries or similar next time.

  Made these for the first time this week, they were absolutely gorgeous. They did take more like 30 mins in the oven and I cut them into 24 pieces. Everyone loved them and have had to make 2 more lots today.

  These are VERY rich, and even a small piece can be hard to eat. Next time, I'm going to use a less dark chocolat and make the brownies just a touch sweeter. Excellent with ice cream though, and really yummy.

  Really yummy, but I struggle to believe that the recipe is totally accurate. After the appointed cooking time, these brownies were more like a molten chocolate cake. It took about 12 more minutes before they could be considered done.

  Cut mine into about 36 squares which were much more realistic portion sizes for something this rich. I cooked mine for 30 mins and the middle section was still very gooey (not that anyone complained), but I think it could have done with a bit longer still.
