I love the rich dark chocolate flavor of these, my husband doesn’t like it though.
My son loves them. None of us taste the malt or notice the brown butter. The texture is awesome, very fudgy. My husband gives them a 3 the 4 comes from me because I really make them for him.

Brownies are spectacular. Pure fudge goodness and a mingling of all the right flavors. Glad I doubled the recipe. Don’t think they will last long. Thank you for the easy to follow recipe. Will make these again for sure.

These were a hit at my weekly coffee get together with friends. I definitely liked them the next morning after they were refrigerated. Definitely a game changer when refrigerated!

Arlene – I am in the US and one of my favorite import shops has Horlicks. Just be sure to use the one with the darker blue packaging marked “Original Malted Drink”. The lighter blue (“Instant Malted”) won’t taste the same

Love malt flavor, this brownie recipe sounded perfect. But, I did not taste any malt in the recipe at all. Maybe I should double the malt powder? Also, hoped the browned butter would be an additional bonus, but again, for me, did nothing to add to this recipe except an extra step. Not my favorite brownie recipe. I am obviously missing something because it is well-reviewed, and Handle the Heat baking recipes are usually home runs for me. So clearly, I’m the problem! I will try it again…

Hi,

My 28-year-old son requested an ice cream cake for his birthday. Which Brownie recipe
of yours do you think I should use? I love your recipes. Would it work? I am going to use
Mint N Chip ice cream. Bottom and top layer of Brownie. With some Whipped Cream on
top.

In reply to Arlene. Hi Arlene! I'd recommend trying Nestle malted milk powder if you can find it. Otherwise, Horlicks would be a better substitute than Ovaltine, as Ovaltine contains additional ingredients that could have a greater effect on the texture of these brownies. If you can't find any of those, I wouldn't recommend adding more cocoa powder as it would significantly alter both the texture and flavor. Instead, you might enjoy our Brown Butter Brownies or our original Chewy Brownies recipe for deliciously chewy brownies :) Let us know how it goes!

In reply to Glin. Thanks for the compliment, Glin! We haven't added walnuts to them ourselves, but I don't see why that wouldn't work! I'd experiment with 1/4-1/2 cup nuts in addition to the chocolate chips and go from there. Let us know what you think when you give it a try :)
