If you’re looking for the best ooey-gooey black bottom praline brownie bar, look no further. These chocolate delights are easy to make and will satisfy every sweet tooth and chocolate lover in your family!
I borrowed this recipe from one of my favorite chefs, Alice Medrich or as I like to call her, the Queen of Chocolate. I’ve had great results with many of her recipes and this brownie bar was OMG delicious.
I did have the wrong sized pan when I made these bars which caused my cooking time to be off a bit, but I didn’t hear anyone complain about the consistency and quite frankly enjoyed the extra ooey-gooey texture. If you’d rather have them fully set a few more minutes in the oven will do the trick.
But just imagine this black bottom praline brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… OMG.

Chef Dennis, I love your thoughts that we need to take care of each other. That is really touching a true. I feel so fortunate to have become friends through blogging. When my Mother in law visited this weekend she mentioned how much she like your site. Just thought you should know 🙂 Have a great day!
Chef D
Thanks so much Wendy, and thank your Mother in law for reading my blog!
hope your day is going well!

Wrong pan or not, they look delicious!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
I never would have known you cut these hot! I thought the gooey chocolate was intentional. They look incredible, I want to just lick all that chocolate!
Mary
Those brownies look wonderful as they are. I bet they really were even better the next morning.
Thanks for the great blogging tips as always. I’m in shock after reading Linda’s story! That is horrible. I always do my best to credit back and link to their site when I use a recipe someone else has created. Besides, nothing makes my day like when someone returns that favor! I love hearing that people have made things that I have created and I assume that other bloggers feel the same way.
Good luck with the last of your crazy weeks for a while. 50 hours still sounds like a LOT, but nothing at all like the insanity that would be 80! wow. Definitely get some rest just as soon as you are able!

Those brownies are off the hook!

Be still my beating heart. The brownies looks wonderful. Thanks for the tidbits on blogging ethics as well. It seems as thought people forget the golden rule when they are hiding behind a computer screen.

Perfectly named. If I had this in front of me right now, I think I would end up eating half the pan at least!
Kimby
Brownies and coffee for breakfast, eh? Me, too! Re: the end of your post — a blogging friend recently endured the “harrowing comments” breach of etiquette you described. Very upsetting. Thanks for your well-put thoughts and for the brownie that I WISH was sitting next to my coffee cup this morning… 🙂

Oh wow….this looks fantastic and I’d be sure to come away with a burnt tongue because I cannot resist melted chocolate.

First of all you could be arrested for posting that Brownie photo. I suspect you’ll have 200 comments by noon and desparate sugar-o-philes hanging around the front of the school when you get off work as well.
Thanks for bringing us all to church on the latter, more serious infractions. It was perfectly described as I do think in many cases people just don’t think through or ASK permission of the original poster (why is that?!). Even with a mention of the original poster, copying someone else’s work as you described it never ok. Though this does not catch everything doing a Google Alert on your blog name helps proactively flag anytime your blog name is used somewhere.

These brownies are amazing. I think I would cut them hot just so that I can have that beautiful filling oozing out too!!
Couldn’t agree more with you and all the points you touched upon. Being fairly new to the blogging world it amazes me some of the comments and hate out there!
Tina@flourtrader
Great information, I always keep in mind that my blog is public and public means that anybody can read, so there may be some weird comments come in.
Cutting the brownies prior to cooling-that sounds like something I would do. They do look delicious and addictive.

Brownies should have their own food group with a recommended 4 servings a day!

My first response at their sight was DROOOL!! They look sinfully divine 😉
Hester @ Alchemy in the Kitchen
Sinful offerings as usual. I can feel the calories just by looking at these luscious brownies. Make sure to balance work and life – an 80 hour week is just horrendous!
I was really interested to read the article by Linda and glad she took action. Thanks for letting us know that there is help out there to stop this type of assault.
Good advice as always. Even without a copyright symbol, when you create an original work, the copyright is automatic.
