I made these for hubby and they looked/smelled DELICIOUS..just like real brownies...but they turned out to be too salty, as I didn't use unsalted but regualar butter. I'm gonna try another batch tonight and use unsalted butter...I'll keep you posted! five stars

Would make this again.
We couldn't tell the difference in this recipe from regular brownies. The only change I made was to change the ground almonds, to almond flour that I purchase online. I don't think it would be possible for me to grind the almonds as fine as flour. Anyway, I've made this recipe three times and we absolutely love it! five stars
