Hi Joe–the most common cause of sinking is over mixing the batter or underbaking them. They could have looked done on the top but still been overly gooey in the middle. Did you use a toothpick to check them? And has your oven been calibrated for accuracy? Some can run 25 to 50 degrees hotter or cooler than what they say they are. I have my oven calibrated with a separate thermometer for accuracy so that baking time and temperatures are more reliable when I write recipes. –Rachel

I tried to make these and they sunk in the middle and just created a huge mess. =(

In reply to Samantha Ribble. Usually crumbling is a sign they were overbaked. Try reducing the cook time by a couple of minutes, and line your pan with parchment paper that overhangs the sides so you can just lift the whole square out in one piece. --Rachel

Some of the most delicious brownies I’ve ever had!

The only problem I had was they turned out crumbly and wouldn’t come out in solid pieces. Any advice?

These are delicious! Made a few times, added some slivered almonds as well and goes down a treat.
