Blackberry Brownies

These are ooey and gooey :) I halved the recipe just because I didn't have enough blackberries to do the whole recipe. I put this in a 8x8 pan and started checking on them after 30 minutes since the batch was smaller. I ended up cooking these a full hour because the toothpick test was still coming out like batter. I finally gave up and pulled them out at the hour mark because I was worried about the edges getting too overdone. They were cooked but so gooey that they did not want to stay together. They tasted great though, but not something I could make for guest or anything without serving with a fork lol. Not sure why they didn't want to cook? Anyway, blueberries or even raspberries would be a great alternative to the blackberries as well. YUM!

They look good, Michelle. After looking at the recipe, I am not sure why the water is needed though? Maybe they would hold together better without it as there is lots of moisture in the berries.

Thank you Manella!
Maybe your right about the water Joce..the berries do give off a lot of water. Next time I'll try it that way!

Interesting take on brownies, Mommyluvs. That's the first time I've ever seen water in a brownie recipe, so am confused about what it's supposed to add?? If you try them them again without water, try baking them at 325 degrees to keep the edges from getting overdone before the center. I learned that trick several years ago and it works well for me. Chocolate and raspberries sound good together to me :)

Oh yeah, good call Bakerme at going at a lower temp! I'm always worried about brownies edges getting too crispy, so I'll try that next time too, thanks :)

This is the exact same recipe for "Hersey's Fudgy Brownies" using Hersey's cocoa powder, minus the blackberry's though!
The hot water makes them fudgy when using all cocoa powder---without having to include melted solid chocolate. I'm guessing the blackberries added too much moisture so I'd probably use half that amount of water.
I love the sound of chocolate and blackberries together! It looks so decadent! :)

Yummy looking recipe, Cosmicmom. We love fudgy brownies, but I'd still be hesitant to add water to brownies. Now if someone else wants to make them and give me a sample to convince me...... ;)

Thanks Shona!! Yup, there was just too much moisture. Other reviews didn't mention that, so I wonder if they were just being nice, or who knows, maybe they really liked them super gooey lol.
