My first bake of the summer. Starting the summer with an easy bake to warm up my precious oven as well as myself. I was a little lost at the start but I am glad that the baking 'feel' began to return after a while. HAHAHA. I made a bit of mess on the kitchen table, with flour and cocoa powder spilled all over the table. But I assure I will get better after some time. I guess I just needed several attempts to get my original "baking feel ~ " back. After contemplating for sometime on what to bake, I finally decided with dark chocolate brownies because they are so simple to make and nothing can go wrong with chocolate brownies. These brownies surprisingly turned out to be really delicious, beyond my expectations. I used to only trust my Classic Fudgy Brownies recipe because they are so good and I have used the same recipe again and again. Now, I have 2 favourite brownies' recipes. These Dark Chocolate Brownies are pretty different from the Classic Fudgy Brownies. Unlike those Fudgy Brownies,  these Dark Chocolate Brownies were lighter and softer on the inside and crispy on the outside. They stay soft and moist even till the next day. I realize both recipes require the butter to be melted with the chocolate. This could probably explain why both recipes yield such rich and chocolatey brownies. I have reduced the sugar level from 200g to 145g but I guess I will reduce further in future because it is still slightly too sweet for me. I also halved the original recipe and baked them in 8X8 inch square pan. The original recipe calls for double of this but since these brownies are very rich, I didn't want them to be too thick.
