Recipe Notes

If you are using a 9x13 pan, bake the brownies for 45 min, rotate, and bake for another 35 min.

This is a very forgiving recipe.  These are very moist fudge-y brownies and very difficult to overbake.  One time I forgot the 2nd 45 min baking time and took them out of the oven only 1/2 baked (total of 45 min).  And they were STILL amazing!!! They were cooked through, but extremely fudge-y. Lol For the record, I don't recommend that.
