So, which do you like better? The chewy edge of the brownie or the softer, inner part

? I go for the softer, inner part since I usually burn the crusts!! Is there a way to prevent the crusts from getting ovedone? If I take the brownies out of the oven too early, the center doesn't get done. Take them out too late and the crusts are burnt. Anyone willing to share their secrets? I really love brownies but hardly ever make them due to this problem.

I make brownies in a mini muffin tin. They only get crunchy/crusty if I over cook them. Do you have a mini muffin tin?

I like them soft and chewy. Mmmmmmmm.......

The chewy edge is best, IMHO. I've tried so many times to get them to come out that way, but it almost never happens.

My mom bakes hers in a white Corning Ware dish and the edges are chewy every time.

I bake them in a clear glass cake pan and they have more of a heavy cake texture throughout.

The type of pan we use is the only difference I can see between hers and mine.

At the bakery where I used to work, we made brownies for The Original Cookie Company. We mixed cream cheese into the batter. Those were the best brownies I've ever had. The batter was better though.

when I take brownies out of the oven I immediatly cut a square right smack in the middle for me....I would just serve warm batter if I could

Thanks for the brownie advice, everyone. I could try some different pans and mini muffin tins as suggested (need to buy !!). Maybe I'll have better luck with my brownies. I use a standard metal brownie pan.

oooo tough question! But ooey gooey for me! like the soft centers of everything! LOL

Hard to resist, I know! Luckily, my husband likes the outer edges, so together we can polish off a batch of brownies in no time (that is, when I don't burn his favorite part!!).
