This recipe for Bouchon is different than the one in the Bouchon cookbook. It's just as good though, and maybe a little bit easier.
Agree with Amy R—different proportions, but super delicious. I don’t have the molds, so I baked in muffin tins for 15 min on convection. The fanciest brownie bites you’ll ever bake!
Where can I purchase the molds?
