These crinkle brownies have been popping up all over my social media as people are stuck inside and baking during the COVID19 quarantine . Some have said that this is the best homemade brownie recipe, so I wanted to give it a try.
The recipe calls for instant coffee, a lot of butter, and a ton of chocolate chips, sounds delicious right?
I followed the recipe exactly, and did not get the same crinkle top result as she does. I noticed this was a trend with others on instagram who also made the brownies. Apparently the more you whip your eggs, the more likely it is to crinkle (although I whipped mine for 3 min).
The outside is crisper and does break into crinkles somewhat, the inside is dark and thick. The taste is not your typical box brownie mix (which is also good). It tastes more like a thick decadent chocolate fudge cake. There is some mild bitterness, I think it's from the semisweet chocolate chips (I'm not a fan of semi-sweet). Coarsely ground salt sprinkled on top counteracts the bitterness and also enhances sweet tastes nicely.
Has anyone else tried these?
In my opinion, these slutty brownies are a bigger hit !
