Notes
- Typically, I try to go for the bare minimum amount of sugar, but for this recipe, I found that the stated amount of sugar results in the best taste. Even reducing it by only 1/3 cup made the brownies taste a little off. If you absolutely must reduce the sugar, add some extra cocoa powder, otherwise, the resulting bake will taste doughy.
