    These are really good, but intense and rich. I agree with some other reviewers that these lean towards candy instead of brownies. Small servings go a long way and a 9 x 13 is going to go a really long way and is a lot of servings. I made the brownies in one pan. The frosting and ganache topping are really well behaved and easy to work with. An impressive dessert for the amount of work. I did let my ganache topping cool a bit before spreading it on the peanut butter frosting layer. These would be a hit on a Christmas Cookie tray and if you are doing an exchange you can easily get 3 dozen out of one pan.

    This was good but it was not flavorful enough to counteract how rich it was.

    These are amazing (and I don't say that often). My husband loves them. I didn't consider them to be fudgy, but I would describe them as dense (in a good way). I did beat the eggs well, which may be why.

    Incredibly delicious chocolate/pb combo. Smaller portions satisfy with this rich dessert, so a 9x13 pan goes a long way.

    Good, but more like candy and VERY rich.

    I made these brownies for a holiday party--one of 6-7 items--and these were the hit--not one left at the end of the night. Yes, three different parts to the recipe, but all straightforward and quick. The brownies tended toward fudge, which I prefer! I will definitely make these again.

    These are pretty great - fudgy and peanutty, really more of a candy than a cookie, and a real treat for chocolate and peanut butter lovers. Despite being made in three parts (brownie, frosting, and glaze), each part is easy to make. In fact, I was able to mix the brownie batter all in one pan after melting the butter and chocolate.
