Often, I'll walk back to my office and shout, "Call the DEA! It's a crack den out there."
My brownie top was a little like that.
Although blurry, can you see the flame in the left hand corner? My first flambe! This brownie recipe has a handful of raisins, a tiny bit of rum, and a bunch of bittersweet chocolate.
This week's recipe for French Chocolate Brownies (page 92) was selected by Di's Kitchen Notebook. My co-workers liked them (cracked top and all), and I ate so many throughout a long meeting that I gave myself a headache (not the brownie's fault!)
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! And thanks J for the booze!
Some roads in Los Angeles are just like this brownie top!

I had the same cracked top on my brownies! Aren't they great!?
I just love the crunchy top. Well done.
Hehe - but these are beautiful with their cracks, whereas the other cracks.... not so much :P
Your crackyly top is artsy beautiful. They look terrific and so does that basket of vegetables from the farmer's market.
Crack and all, they look delish!
I see the flame! I wasn't adventurous enough to try and photograph mine, Great job!
Looks tasty! I didn't get a cruncy top like that...it seems like everyone else did. I'm kind of jealous, it looks good!
Congrats on your first flame!
Many Montreal roads are exactly like your Brownies' tops too!
They look absolutely delicious and moist, very French I guess? (your Brownies I mean, not the roads!)
I've seen quite a few this morning and yours are the best, by far.
Great job!
Love that cracked top...I think it contrasts nicely with the rich layer right below it.
lol re the cracked roads in LA..we have the same roads here in N.CA. i actually kinda liked the cracks in the brownies, it gave it character! fab brownies!
I had the same cracked top!
My top was just as cracked. They are wonderful the next day. Great job!
That is some awesome crackling! Beautiful.
I LOVE how cracked on top your brownie is! I'd want to just pick off the crackly pieces and eat them.
HAHAHAHAHA - crack den? How funny. And I like how the cracks look. On the brownies, I mean.
The brownies look great, even with the cracked tops! That will sometimes happen to mine, too - but not quite that cracked, although I didn't try this recipe...maybe that's yet to come. :)
I thought that brownies were supposed to have crackly tops? In that case, yours are picture perfect!
Your brownies look delicious! I'm jealous of the cracked top!
Beautiful cracks! Great job!
Your brownies look delish, cracks and all.
I loooove your cracked top. Mine was cracked but not enough to look intentional, you know? Yours actually looks like it's supposed to be that way. I'm insanely jealous!
Ha! My mom's a high school librarian, and she says the exact same thing. Too. Much. Crack. ;)
You crack me up! I love your bit about the chairs and crack den. I gotta remember that one for work.
Your brownies look so good, especially the crackly tops. Yum!
I love the cracked top, Delicous!
Hubs and I fought over the brownies - but we fought MORE over the crackly top!!! They were like... brownie potato chips!
Who knew those brownies had some flambe in them! They sure were good, snacks almost always make the meetings go better.
Oh wow. Your pictures are gorgeous; bravo on capturing the flambe flame!
The crack analogy made me laugh. I have to admit that I'm guilty of wearing low riders from time to time.
Crackles are beautiful, aren't they?! More texture, I say.

Beautiful looking brownies with a perfect cracked top.

LOL at your comment about the LA roads - i sometimes felt that way when i was in NC :)
your brownies look nice and "rustic" like mine - we both got really thick cracked crusts, while others had a nice, more subtle thin crust...i'm so jealous of them! but at least they still tasted great, right? :)
oh, and great job on your first flambe! if you liked this one, try the brioche raisin snails, the flame was much bigger for those!
