Those that say it taste like eating chocolate chips well you are silly so I decided to bump up the flavor a bit. first I took the advice about melting the butter first. I used 1 cup of semi sweet and 2 cups of milk ghirardelli chocolate, when I make it again I will use semi sweet ghirardelli chocolate, I also added about a loose cup of peanut butter and the same of that marshmallow fluff stuff a splash of a good vanilla. someone also mentioned using salted butter is a must, well I never have salted butter in my house so I did use unsalted I agree some salt normally is good to balance out the chocolate so may be next time ill use a pinch but I felt mine came out just fine with unsalted. I only buttered the pan and it came out ok but this time I will use some parchment just to make life a bit easier, over all my house hold inhaled this I cant remember what old fashioned fudge tasted like to compare it to this and dont feel the need to do so what ever this is it was great. I know I did not follow your recipe to the letter but thanks so much for posting I would never had made this with out your suggestion and all the advice that followed.

Here is my version from last night let me first say I hate meat and almost never eat it I am sad to say I cleaned my plate.. I only used 4 chicken thighs skin on I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika garlic powder browned the chicken in my Dutch oven with oil and a tad of butter did not cook it all the way, removed it and tossed the skin yuck, tossed in some onions & the brown sugar (1/4 cup) I know wrong place but his is how I brown my onions I think it can take less. Let them brown for a while then added mushrooms brown, Drained off all the fat left in the pot. I added 1 cup stock scraped up all the bits added the wine I used 1/2 cup wine (pinot noir). Set the burner on 3 cooked for an hour or so turning once. Took out the chicken here is where I must have read too many recipes I had thought it called for a corn starch slurry. So I mixed some starch with water added it to the broth tossed the chicken back in and let it do its thing till veggies were done. Happy mistake as this amazing concoction was just thick enough to stick to the chicken and potatoes yum yum yum thanks so much I was no trying to insult you with the changes this is a keeper it made my husband want to lick his plate clean

was good I also used applesauce instead of the oil, equal amts.

just made this and I thought 3 eggs seamed wrong and as I filled the dish way not enough so the posters that said 5-7 used were correct I tossed in 2 more and a splash more of all the ingredients and crossing my fingers

This is now a new favorite I did make a few changes by not adding a couple of things just for personal preferences and did not have some of them. (sausage, bacon bits, green chili peppers) so I upped the amt. of beef and added more of the chili in spicy sauce and it was so good and I am sure it would be just as good with the omitted items. it was so good I had to make it 3 times in the last month thanks for the post I will never make another recipe.
