    " It was not good "

    This recipe did not work for me. The chocolate SEIZED after I added the chips to the warm water/butter/sugar mixture. It was all lumpy and impossible to stir. The problem got a little better after I added the eggs and vanilla, and I figured the batter was supposed to be thick since the recipe title calls it a "brownie." But after baking for a few minutes LESS than the 25 minutes the recipe says, and then finishing the top two layers, the brownie part (bottom layer) came out too hard - especially the corners. I have a much better, old recipe for "Fannie Mae bars" that calls for a 16-oz can of Hershey's syrup to make the bottom chocolate layer. I used the recipe on this page for Christmas 2017, because Hershey has discontinued the 16-oz can of chocolate syrup, and many people say the syrup that comes in the current, 24-oz plastic squeeze bottle is not the same product. I wrote to Hershey's to find out for sure, and I'm hoping I can go back to the old recipe, which has a bottom layer that is closer to a dense cake rather than a hard brownie. I gave the recipe two stars, because the mint and ganache (top) layers are the same great flavor we are used to.
