That’s the perfect explanation why my brownies never shine even though I thin my eggs and sugar for half an hour! Thank you so much

In reply to Shehla. So glad that's worked for you, Shehla! That's a great way to reduce the sugar just slightly, without greatly impacting the texture of your brownies :)

I did reduce the amount of sugar by 50% and yes the result was exactly like the 50% sugar brownies in this article, and I still try to figure out about how to make less sweet brownies with the shiny top…….. This article helps alot, thank u

I’ve used unsweetened chocolate in some of the brownie recipes on this site for just the melted chocolate (without altering the amount of granulated sugar) and it hasn’t changed the texture for me! I don’t know if it works with every recipe, though, or if different brands of unsweetened chocolate would have a different effect.

In reply to Kiersten @ Handle the Heat. I just had cataract surgery, so it will be a while, LOL, as I cannot see yet. I will have to continue to wear distance glasses. This is so weird, to have everything blurry! But when I try the experiment, I will certainly let you know!

In reply to Janet Miller. Hi Janet! It would be great to try that too! Let us know what you think if you experiment with that :)

I can see that 50% reduction is drastic, it would be interesting to try a 75% reduction compared with a control batch.
