“These are fantastic brownies!Very rich taste and perfect soft texture.Even the icing is to die for, amaretto and chocolate is wonderful!!!I used the powdered cocoa as well and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and they are totally perfect.Also, I had to leave them in the oven for about 5 mins extra to finish cooking.Thanks!”
