Notes: While working on a volunteer project, I was having a discussion of brownies with a fellow volunteer. He spoke how he liked the soft kind that were almost like molten chocolate cake. That inspired me to go looking for a soft brownie.
Well, I found this recipe which was so different from any brownie recipe; I had made that I decided to try it. Even the way you prepare the batter is unusual! The finished project isn't soft in the middle but with the soft frosting on the top it gives that gooey texture. Aiming for that really soft textural experience, I did not include the pecans.
Not only my fellow volunteer but friends with whom I shared thought this was a most unusual and excellent brownie. (I must admit, it also gave me more pots for licking.)
