Another attempt in my never-ending quest to find the perfect brownie… today’s TWD features Julia’s ‘Best Ever Brownie’.
While they didn’t end up as our ‘perfect’ one, it’s definitely a brownie to be reckoned with. The preparation is a little different in that the egg whites are whipped before being added to the batter, but oddly enough, this doesn’t provide you with a cakey brownie. They left the oven super-fudgy, nicely dense and were the perfect sweet treat as we waited in line for Breaking Dawn, Part II… our final annual ‘Midnight Movie’ outing. 
Our hostess for the week is Monica of A Beautiful Mess. Click on over to her blog to find the recipe in its entirety… and for a list of participants baking along, check out the ‘Leave-Your-Link’ post over on TWD: Baking With Julia!

These have got to be the most perfect and neatest of them all! They look almost like fudge. Fabulous Jessica!
Hi Jessica,
Yours look good too!!! Seem so fudgy!!!!
I agree with you, it’s a perfect treat for a movie night!!!!!
very fudgy, very neatly cut! They look delicious. But the real question is, did you like the movie?
I like your comment: it’s definitely a brownie to be reckoned with.
It was but I wish mine had turned out a little better.
well done on yours though – they look delish.
Your brownies are perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such perfectly cut pieces. Beautiful! It is how I dream my brownies will be.(but never are) Great job!
These were definitely brownies to be reckoned with!! Totally delicious! Yours look absolutely delicious! Happy Thanksgiving!
Yours look perfect! So glad you enjoyed them, too
What did you think of the breaking dawn ending?! Brownies look good!
i am quite sure, these must be the best ever!!!
thank you!
it’s always a pleasure to visit your blog…it makes me so hungry!!!
Hi, Jessica! Your brownies are just lovely. What a perfect treat to get you through a midnight movie.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Your squares look perfect!
Ooh these look really fudgy – the whipped egg whites are really unique!
Were you a little sad that the whole Twilight madness is over? I have mixed feelings about it but the ending of this one made it a little emotional for me
Happy Thanksgiving Jessica!
Beautiful brownies. Perfectly fudgy looking – just how I would like them.
These look like fudge! What great looking brownies!
Perfect brownies in every way. Beautiful presentation.
Chocolate chip cookies and brownies seem to require the most ‘quests’. I think I found my go-to brownie. Perfect pics of perfect brownies.
Beautiful Brownies! I think I baked mine a bit longer, they were definitely more cakey than yours.
Oh – I love that they were your standing in line treat for the movies. My girls would love it if I sent them these brownies for that
I made these too but the middle inside was so gooey I thought they were underdone. How did you get them to be so solid? Did you bake them much longer than recommended? I don’t know if it is because I didn’t beat the eggs enough or what. Loved the movie. I thought they wrapped the series up nicely.
