so far so good. i substituted it with dark chocolate and used less granulated sugar. they are in the oven 🙂 But my cream cheese layer is a lot more and kind of liquid.. Always not so easy to convert cups into grams .. even though there are converters online, they are too many of them and they calculate different.. but we’ll see.
At least i’m already tipsy from tasting the dough! 😀 so I’m optimistic 😀

Hi Anni,
I’ve only made these brownies with the baking squares, so I’m not sure about a substitution. You may want to do an internet search to see if there’s an equivalent. I think you’ll be able to use the cocoa powder, but you’ll probably have to add more butter. Good luck and let me know how it turns out!

I want to bake your brownies so bad but we dont have unsweetened chocolate baking squares in germany. 🙁 Anything I can use instead? How about cocoa-powder? :S

I’m making them right now with the jack daniel’s Tennessee honey I’ll let y’all know how they turn out!

I bet it would work pretty well! If you try it, let me know how they turn out. You can call it “research!” 🙂

Hi Ashley!
I would because of the cream cheese, but keep in mind if stored in the fridge for a while, the brownies will start to dry out. Hopefully they won’t last that long!

I’m not sure if it would change the consistency or not, but worst case you might end up with an awesome whiskey caramel sauce instead of caramels, so I say go for it!
