This channel's recipes are the ones that I fully trust. So delicious!

Out of all the recipes I have tried this is by far the best one! The brownies were truly outstanding.

Just made these brownies for Thanksgiving and though I have no previous experience with baking, they came out perfect. Thank you for the easy to follow (and delicious, of course) recipe. Happy Thanksgiving 😊

Followed the recipe and made these today for my hubby and boys and they came out perfect! Thank you for this amazing brownie recipe!

I love the way he explained,straight to the point.Generous to share his ideas,techniques,amounts of ingredients not like other Baking show.Keep up the good work Sir!God Bless!

I made these like, 3 weeks ago, and they were LEGIT THE BEST BROWNIES me and my family had ever made!! Absolutely AS MOIST as you can get (last batch I made was VERY rock hard so this was a welcome change) and as a teenager it was fabulous to use this recipe to help me improve my baking skills!! They were just *chef's kiss* fabulous, and were extremely FUDGY, GOOEY, SOFT and CHOCOLATEY!!!!!!!!!! They lasted for 3-4 days, and made about 18 (I think?) shared between 4. 10000000000/10 WOULD MAKE AGAIN!! 😅😅😅

just made these for my boyfriend for his birthday today. they turned out beautiful and were so delicious! I swirled in some peanuts butter in half of the brownies per his request. the whole house smells like chocolate heaven

I am a huge fan of yours John. I just went to the store as soon as I saw this video go up without even watching because I knew it would work because it’s your recipe. And it did! These brownies just brought joy to my kids. Thank you John. And I just bought your book.

THESE ARE FRIGGIN INCREDIBLE!! I've tried multiple channels' brownie recipes and none have come ANYWHERE near these! I don't know exactly how long I cooked it, but holy frick, it's so moist and fudgy and... and... I'm at a loss for words. Best brownie I've ever eaten, hands down. I also put some Ghirardelli raspberry filled chocolates in it and that sent its deliciousness factor through the roof!

John's wholesome and approachable style is good vibes every time. Also the food is fab. 🙂

Thanks for your recipes. Truly.❤️ When ever I struggle with any recipes my go to for perfect recipes is you. ❤️❤️

Made these yesterday and it was a success. Best brownies I have ever made. I baked them for 35 minutes in the oven on 170 degrees. I used very dark cacao powder and Tony Chocolonely pure chocolate 👌🏽Thank you 💖 Greetings from the Netherlands

John, you are the most enjoyable baker to watch and learn from! I started a Cottafe Foods business from my Florida home last January and your recipes are the best! and UR Funny!!

226 g - butter 270 g - chocolate 120 g - flour 75 g - cocoa powder 400 g - sugar 3 large eggs 15 ml - vanilla 1 full teaspoon of salt

I am so pleased with this channel of baking i have been baking since i was a child helping my mom in kitchen baking but i have tried some recipes it came out exactly like John made it i was impressed by every technic he use wow happy ❤❤❤😂😂

I watched your channel for the first time, tried this recipe directly. I've made a lot of brownies from various recipes, but I have to say THIS ONE IS THE BEST! Thank you so much. I'm a fan!

Omg, me and my cuz made this for a sleepover and it was AMAZING!! It was a huge hit in our family, and everyone absolutely loved it!!

You are so much fun, John! I think my favorite part is your pure enjoyment of that first bite. 😊

I like that you explain the reasons behind some of the steps that people who never cook or bake may think is a preference thing but if you skip them the brownie is ruined . Thank you 🙏 ❤

These are honestly the best reciepe from john EVER ive made it 10 times and everyone keeps asking for more

I have been watching brownie and brownie cookie recipes for a couple of days now and this is the second video on your channel that I am watching. Thank you for simple recipes with simple ingredients and well-explained directions. I also like how you explain why to do or not to do something and not talking to us like we are idiots but also not assuming that we have the skills, technique, and equipment of highly-rated professional chefs. These brownies look fudgy and chewy just how I like them and can not wait to make them!

I made your brownies today and let me tell you they were brilliant. Thank you for the amazing recipe.

Awesome. My 3 grandsons are crazy for brownies. Gonna make this for all of us for thanksgiving. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

I made them and they came out absolutely delicious! They were big hits with my family. I ran out of cocoa powder so I only used 1/2 cup and I chose to add in 1 cup of sugar instead so it doesn't get to sweet - came out perfect!

Baking is so much fun with you... every recipe comes out just so perfect......love your simple way .... keep baking.... love eating

I made these but put in only 1 1/4 cups sugar and they came out great!! My coworkers loved them!! Keep on Baking and posting!! I have your cookbook too!!

I love your channel I was just watching your how to homemade pie crust just a little while ago. Thank you so much your recipes really help me bring my food too the next level!❤❤❤❤

Tried out your recipe today. It was so fudgy and soft. Everyone loved it. You are truly a legend. 🙌🥰

came out great, thanks! i baked at 180°C for 35 minutes and it's PERFECT

Did this last year, it was a huge success. Ppl were asking, and I referred back immidiately to John with confidence

Thanks John! One of our favorite desserts! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your cute family!🦃

Hi! I have making your brownies with chocolate chips for a few years now and it’s always a great hit! Now I’m going to do it with the block of chocolate. I love your cook book too. I hope you do another one with traditional desserts including your brownie recipe 😊

WOW Looks wonderful, delicious and well prepared 😊Thank you for sharing Chef ❤❤

You always have my mouth watering! These look Heavenly! 😋😋😋

Great insider tips for making your brownies extra fudgy, John! My preference is with walnuts and I follow America's Test Kitchen's tip of sprinkling them on top so they get crisp and toasted. If mixed into the batter, they get steamed which is not as pleasing to the palate.

Just finished making these. Mine took 55-60min to bake. Looks yummy 😋🤤

Those look Absolutely Amazing!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! God Bless Us All!!!

I can't wait to try these! Every single recipe that I have tried from you is absolutely spot on and delicious. I like that you tell each ingredient and the amount as you are filming and making it. I also enjoy watching your little messes and funny parts. You keep it real. The only thing I would change is I would add walnuts and sprinkle with powdered sugar after cooled.

Very nice brownie recipie John! They looks amazing! Brownies is my favourite dessert! Thanks for these amazing recipie! Have a nice day! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫

I made this recipe 2 months ago and it came out DELICIOUS. It was fudgy and chewy and chocolaty but today when I tried making it , it came out dense ,dry af and sort of cake like texture. Even tho I’ve made brownies several times this thing never happened with me , I followed the recipe to the point can anyone tell me what mistake I made !!??

Thank you for sharing your brownie recipe I love it!!!

I have always loved to bake and I am really enjoying your channel. I have tried many of your recipes and they are so successful and delicious. I love your scientific approach. Please keep up the good work and thank you ❤

Uma delícia, uma sobremesa muito top

Meu Deus acho que esse é o brownie mais lindo que já vi na vida

Absolutely! Delicious food is like a magical potion that instantly lifts your spirits! 🍲✨

They look delicious. Definitely going to bake a batch of them up for the family. Thank you.

I made these (using your previous video) last weekend, and added in a scoop of Vegemite and omitted the salt and coffee, and used a bit less chocolate. Idk if you're familiar with Vegemite or Marmite, but it's a yeast extract that brings an incredible umami flavour and goes beautifully with 70% dark chocolate. So, so good - the only thing was I lost the smooth crackly top that I got when I followed your recipe precisely, so I'm going to have to experiment again with the quantities. But the flavour 😍

I've made his original recipe of these brownies, and they were fantastic. The differences in the original were: Instead of 2c of sugar (1c sugar, 1c brown sugar); instead of 1.5c chopped chocolate (1.5c dark chocolate chips); instead of 1t of espresso grounds (1T of coffee). All else is the same

I made this Brownie they turned out to be the most delicious n decadent ever.. Thank you so much..preppy kitchen

And to think I was just thinking yesterday that I need to find just the right recipe for brownies, and today here it is! I am so going to bake these tomorrow with my others desserts for Thanksgiving!

I find that whisking the sugar with the warm melted butter gives me the fudgiest brownies. Don't over do it tho, just until the sugar disappears. Then adding the eggs, also it's better to do it with a wooden spoon and not a whisk. This way you avoid overbeating the eggs. But this is just my way. It doesn't mean others are not also good.

I made this and insurance won't cover my house.

Turned out perfectly delicious!! Thank you!! Again!!

I made the exact same brownies and everyone loved it thank you so much. ❤❤

No baking powder?? Edit: leave baking powder, I made these and they were delicious but just make sure to use less sugar and chocolate 😅 it was too much for my family

Wow! It looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing it with us!❤!!!

Tried this recipe. It was so good! My whole family loved it❤

What alternative can I use for eggs

I followed the recipe but somehow forgot the vanilla extract💀💀

Thank you for this recipe my children loves it. Very delicious & fudgy 10/10! God bless

I didn't think fudge brownies could get any better, but they just did. Thank you, they're in the oven now. Had to stop eating the batter.🥰

This channel and your expository teachings has been my major drive, and that's why with $32,000 weekly returns I was able to live my life-long dreams of sending 15% of my weekly interest to Food banks, and also support local restaurants here in Louisiana.
