It was very difficult to remove from the pan...even with the foil. It was very rich for my taste, but the rest of the crowd seemed to like it.

I made this for a potluck at work and everyone loved it. I would bake the brownies a little longer next time though. It tasted GREAT but didn't look like the picture. Mine were much more messy, but everyone liked them all the same.

The recipe tasted great, but did not look so great. The top cracked and burned, due to the extra baking time because the center of the brownie was not cooked.

I cannot believe how easy it was to make this cheesecake. I had never made one before (I'm not a fan of cheesecake), however it was what my step-daughter wanted for her birthday cake. It was a huge hit with everyone. My husband thought I had bought it at the local bakery!!!

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Ended up being very messy and I guess I didnt cook the brownies long enough the first time even though it was already longer than it called for... All in all it was very good but I dont think it was worth all the trouble.

It was a very rich dessert! I drizzled strawberries over the top as an extra treat!

The only thing I did different was to make the brownies more cakie by adding 2 extra eggs. The recipe was simple and the results were excellent.
