Things to know for next time:

- Make the batter thicker. 
- Use the right size eggs and tray. 

Taste: They had the right amount of sugar and tasted very rich. 
Texture: They were fluffy and melted in your mouth when warm.
Looks: They had a nice swirl on top and looked nice and gooey in the middle.

I was happy with the outcome of our brownies we just need to keep those things in mind next time for a better result.
