I added a full cup of deep, dark blossom honey from Tahiti. A cup people, a full cup! Do you know how much honey that is? That is a generous amount.
I had no clue what to expect. Dorie says that the chocolate takes back seat to the honey flavor. Boy was she right! Honey resonates in every bite. So I'm glad I used a high-quality honey that I loved.
As usual, I followed the recipe to the t. I even branched out from the normal (Amano or Guittard) chocolate I bake with and used Calebeut for the first time. Great results!
The texture perhaps was another surprise. It was very cakey, moist and had a high rise. Then with the toasted, slivered almonds I folded in, it had a nice crunch. Maybe reminiscent of German Chocolate Cake?
We enjoyed our brownies nearly-at-room-temp, and with a side of vanilla custard (from my favorite: Coneys) and with milk. I can't wait to take these to work tomorrow and see what my coworkers think. (I hope to take some non-nighttime pictures tomorrow....yuck I hate late-night photos. ---- UPDATED: NEW PHOTOS!)
If you want the recipe, head out and buy Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or read Suzy Homemaker's, blog since it was her pick this week. Remember to check out the TWD LYL Post!

I like the idea of adding slivered almonds. I could see that with some coconut too, it would be like German chocolate cake.
These weren't a huge hit here, but I am glad I tried them. They look great here!
Mine was cakey but also a but soggy so I don't think I baked mine enough. I added toasted almonds, too. That honey you used sounds so good! I try to stock up on interesting honeys but I was out this time.
Wish mine were as moist as yours - they're beautiful! :)
These were so good, I loved the honey in them. It was a nice change from the regular brownies. Thank you for sharing, you are amazing!
Im glad you enjoyed them! Ihope the coworkers do too! I loved the moistnesss of mine:)
