These were good brownies, especially for breakfast!! I didn't have any ice cream, so I used whipped cream instead. These brownies were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, the way I like them. You have to be careful not to overbake them, otherwise they will get too hard. I downsized the recipe and lessened the cooking time to about 35 minutes. I also made the mistake of mixing the sugar and flour ahead of time in a bowl, so I just added the egg and vanilla and then stirred in the chocolate. I left out the nuts, but for those who like nuts, they would be good. This recipe was originally from Good Housekeeping.Fudge Brownies
