Basically just pick the pan up a tiny bit and then let it fall back on the oven rack. This will pop any air bubbles. Hi Shannon, Thank you!

Ina says her half sheet pans are 2" high but all of mine are only around 1 and 1/4" high. Think i will definitely use a metal pan and make 1/2 batch. Can't wait.

My version of the original Ina recipe calls for a 13 x 18 inch pan (a half sheet pan). That might work best to avoid your spillage issue. I have made them several times in a half sheet pan and never had a problem with it. Good luck! I agree that it is not an inexpensive brownie to make – but sooooo worth making.

I am not a big walnut fan but really like them in these brownies! I think one of the things that makes these brownies "outrageous" is the addition of the coffee granules. It intensifies the chocolate flavor for me. They freeze great as well. Fantastic flavor!!!! Michelle, I have made these brownies for events and many people ask me to bake them.

Is there a reason you don't want to use unsweetened? It really helps to balance the flavors and make sure the brownies aren't too overwhelmingly sweet.

As far as reducing the amount of chocolate… you likely couldn’t reduce the amount of melted chocolate without then altering the amount of sugar and potentially butter as well. I would probably recommend cutting the squares into smaller pieces or omit the chocolate chips that are mixed into the batter. That may help a bit. Hi chiew, I’m so glad you enjoyed these brownies!

This is one of the most decadent brownies I have ever tasted! One word of caution (if you are using the original recipe)... It suggests baking them in a 12x18x1 pan. I found that the amount of batter in the recipe is too much for this size pan -- unfortunately I didn't figure this out until it bubbled over the sides of the pan and burned to the bottom of my oven. It ruined that batch as the smoke in the oven spoiled the flavor of the brownies (and wasted a lot of expensive ingredients to boot). Now I just reserve a bit of the batter and bake it in a separate pan -- they will rise quite a bit even with rapping the pan on rack halfway through baking (as the recipe suggests). Super delish!
