Bon Appetit's strongest videos are their recipe testing videos. Chris is obviously fantastic, and I think many people love the new personalities as well, but many people long for the nostalgic feeling of bon appetite videos. Of course, the lost people are missed, but when you look back at the content that was being created during that era, it was mostly recipe testing. Personally, that's what I love to see, and I think seeing the newer personalities go through these steps would help viewers connect to them more.

[@fuzzzone]

I enjoyed the recipe testing videos, and similar ideas like Chris's "recreating by taste" series, but one that was completely different which I have to say I miss the idea behind "Alex Eats It All". Those were surprisingly entertaining.

[@btb554]

Yeah, I also miss claire's gourmet series

[@VinnyF3]

I appreciate how the goal really was the "perfect recipe" rather than "the brownie I like the most". That's why he put in the chocolate chips and didn't dial back the sugar. I think if he was making them for himself, he would've put salt on the top

[@davida.5766]

I certainly would. Smokey salt if I had it

[@MNIU_]

But isn’t it technically the brownie he liked the most? Bc it’s his idea of a brownie

Browning butter is way easier than a double boiler. Also it is my absolute favorite way to elevate my bakes. I would’ve added water back into the browned butter to equal the weight of butter prior to browning

[@hermiona1147]

Yes adding water back is something I know people do, kinda surprised why he didn't try it.

[@Nephelle]

Even splitting the butter to half browned and half not.

[@absolutelynothingtoseehere]

Unless you need the water, no real need. It's not a huge amount. I find the loss of water an advantage with cookies, because they'll spread less.

[@hamstrung22]

@@absolutelynothingtoseehere Your cookies spread too much due to excess butter or not cold enough when putting into the oven. The tbs or 2 of water isn't why

Thank you Chris for your chocolate chip skepticism and not immediately giving in to the cult of chocolate chips. I agree it's cool if they add something, but usually I find they don't.

[@Klinety66]

Completely agree. And if you are looking for texture nuts are a thing. Peacans go very nicely in most baked goods.

[@saramarques7986]

I found better to cover the brownies with a thin simple ganache and for a fancier sophisticated flavor a Rocher style glaze rather than putting chips into the brownies. I really prefer having a top layer of this glaze than chewing chocolate chips that don't stand up in the rich flavor of the brownies

[@oedalis]

I find issues with just about every brownie I've had, but the Sara Lee Boxed Triple Chocolate Chunk Brownies never let me down texturally. They have all the features you seem to want - fudgey, but not too dense, meringue-like shiny top, and somewhat crispy edges. Oh and one of my favorite parts - ooey-gooey chunks of melted chocolate (at least when they're warm). I don't know what's exactly in the mix, but vegetable oil seems to be one ingredient they use that you're leaving out. Also, check out Adam Ragusea's brownie episode where he goes through even more batches than you did to narrow down a receipe (though his target is a little different than yours).

Then separate the batter in 2: 1 bowl with 75% of the batter and 1 bowl with 25% of the batter. Add the other 50% of the sugar to the bowl 2. Drop in the mold the bowl 1 and bake for some mins,just enough to get some texture. Drop the bowl 2 in the top now that they will not mix,and bake .

Chris, Curious that with the texture and density being such a big focus target, there wasn't any baking powder or leavening to add loft and lightness to mix... you can do both with pouring in half the mix before adding a small amount of baking powder to second half of mixture and layering on top. Chewy bottom, and a lighter well risen top. Maybe split the mix and do a leavened, lighter bottom half with the chewy mix on top ? Any discussions of perhaps doing Blonde Brownies next ?

Has anyone tried a brownie recipe using 1/3 black cocoa & 2/3 dutch?? I've been loving everything that I put black cocoa in; adds both beautiful depth of color and flavor, but I haven't tried it in brownies yet (oven has been non functional).

Nothing beats the Katherine Hepburn brownie.. in my opinion!! I think this version is probably lovely as well!

FML I want all of the brownies now.

I hate when measuring spoons have the ring too, I find them difficult to deal with and anything on one is going to get on the others too 🤷🏻‍♀️❤

I'm not sure browned butter was a huge addition to chocolate chip cookies. But I think it was probably worth doing it. So if it is adding some depth to brownies I think people should at least try it once to see if it's not as big a deal to you as you'd think.

[@robdielemans9189]

did you think of a version where you separate the yolks and whites and whip up the albumen and fold it in at the latest stage before baking?
