artsyshell - they were fantastic. Thanks! Very moist and flavourful. I used vanilla paste instead of the extract and added about 1/2 whole pecans, which I added in with the rest of ingredients.

Chelsea - simple and delicious

cottchick - Agreed. I make this often and it's showing on my waistline!

thermie crew - These have become a family favourite. Everyone that tastes them agrees that they are fantastic.

KathS - Thanks for such a quick and simple recipe... I made these yesterday and they were very well received! I think next time I'll try adding a small handful of white chocolate chips.

Obbie - I make this one a lot.  My kids all time favourite.

DJ - Reduced sugar to 280g and butter to 210g. Used soft brown sugar. Should have cooked a bit longer. Very squishy in middle. Or I could use a bigger tin. Voted a hit anyway.

suzanne - I make this one often and I whip it up for dessert it's delicious with ice cream and Hershey's chocolate sauce, DH said he could eat the whole thing given half the chance.

Thermominoux - Very good recipe. Tried and was delicious.  Thanks for this nice recipe.

This is quick and easy.  You could almost wizz it up when the unexpected guests arrive.

Agree...  even before Thermomix this is quick one, now it's super quick!

I made these earlier in the week and we loved them.  Simple and delicious.  This is the best TM brownie recipe I have tried so far.

These have become a family favourite. Everyone that tastes them agrees that they are fantastic  Anyone tried using raw sugar instead of white? Or even better, rapadura? Did they work?

[Twitterpated]

I only ever have raw sugar. I give it a quick zap first to break the grains down but not to the point of icing sugar.

[thermie crew]

Thanks. The plan has always been to only have raw sugar but when a recipe specifies white sugar I'm reluctant to ignore it. As long as I know it works, I'll ditch the white sugar completely!

[obbie]

I only use raw sugar for all cooking.
It works well.

I used raw sugar as well, recipe updated.
