What could have caused my brownies to turn out mushy?

[chefautumn]

I have a problem......
I am making the brownie at a show on friday so I always make the recipe at home to be sure I know how it turnes out.
Well I left this in the oven for 45 min. and it was very mushy , what did I do wrong? Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thank you for your help

The top will be syrupy. Did you let the chocolate sauce and water boil in the microwave? This makes a HUGE difference. I have made this several times and gotten rave reviews. The top does look like pudding when it's done.HTH!

: Hi there, sorry to hear about your brownie mishap! It's always frustrating when a recipe doesn't turn out as expected. I've definitely had my fair share of baking fails. From my experience, it could be a few things that caused your brownies to turn out mushy. Did you follow the recipe exactly or make any substitutions? Also, did you use the correct size pan and oven temperature? Sometimes even a small change can make a big difference in the end result. Another possibility could be that your oven runs hotter or cooler than the temperature you set it at. I would suggest trying the recipe again and making sure to follow it precisely. If it still doesn't turn out, maybe try a different recipe or ask someone who has successfully made brownies for their tips. Good luck!
