I'm wondering if you just overcooked them, because every time I make them they are fabulous! And we eat them the next day and the next (if they last that long). I made them once for booth and I made them the day before and cut them up small and had them sitting out for people and they were just as chewey and moist as when I first took them out of the oven. WE love these, just don't make them very often because they are soooo rich and fattening!

When life is a little less stressful, try the brownies again, and maybe try Paula's advice about watching the cooking time. I've made these a number of times to pamper a business, and if I'm taking sweets along for a gathering. (I'd never make them for just the two of us, as they're definitely very rich). They're a little messy to eat (mine are always quite soft, and because they're quite thin they fall apart easily), but absolutely yummy, and I have kept leftovers for a few days and they're still great.

But that chocolate chip cookie recipe looks amazing as well... Too many yummy recipes to choose from!
 
I love the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies and have made them at least twice at shows. Hubby is allergic to nuts so I don't make them at home. Always delicious, so I second Lorraine's suggestion that you try them one more time when you aren't panicky. Chocolate Chip Sensation is another favorite of mine...and when I leave off the chopped nuts on top, it's safe for the husband! Please let us all know how the show went.

Try pretzels. I think nuts ruin any kind of chocolate so I do that all the time.
 
Pretzels in the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies? Or just as a general substitute? I can now make the Taffy Apple Pizza using sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter and it's delicious!

I mostly just use them for the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies but they can be substituted for other recipes that call for nuts as a topper.
 
I always undercook any brownies in a stone because they seem to keep cooking when you take them out. I do it for 5 - 7 minutes less time.I've had these turn out hard to but undercooking them seems to help....
