On-The-Fence Brownies

And the perfect brownie search continues ...

I thought these brownies held real promise - a mix between a fudgy and cakey brownie. I baked them in a 9x9 pan instead of the 13x9 pan called for because I know I like my brownies thick.

This recipe calls for dutch process cocoa and I guess I can now officially say, after many tries, I don't care for dutch process cocoa. The chocolate is too "dark" tasting for my boys and the brownies are just not sweet enough tasting for me. They're also missing that nice shiny crust on top.

They taste fine - in fact, I'm sure others would love them. They're chocolatey and moist. Fudgy and cakey. They're just not what I'm looking for.
