Brownies!

I made a batch of The Barefoot Contessa's Outrageous Brownies tonight. I made a couple changes though:
I increased the dark chocolate to 8 oz and reduced the chocolate chips to compensate.
I added 1 Tbsp Cinnamon (yes a full tablespoon - there's a ton of chocolate in these!) and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
To accomodate some friends tastes I only used half the walnuts -- I poured half the batter into the pan, added the walnuts to the remaining batter and added that. This worked better than I expected as once the batter had cooled to room tempurature it was pretty thick and easy to control.
Finally, the first time I made them I cut the batch into 20 pieces - most people found these too large so I reduced them to 2x2 inch squares.
Final verdict? Yum!
