  1. I like cake-type brownies to dip in milk and this is the best recipe I have tried. Our grandkids LOVED these brownies.

  2. Maple syrup, instead of corn, works wonders. To emphasize the chocolate taste of the cocoa, add a tablespoon or two of coffee ground to a fine espresso powder. (Or buy it from King Arthur Flour.) It doesn’t add a coffee taste, just pumps up the chocolate.
