    I am making these tonite! I think you left flour off the ingredients list. It calls for 1 1/3 cup of flour. Thanks for the recipe.

    Ariel said...

    The Mom With Brownies said...

    ACK! I did leave out the flour! Sorry about that. :o)

    It's 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour.

    That should make all the difference!
