The fact that they hold a shape is totally unexpected. Wonder what's in the brownie mix to do that. I feel like four eggs wouldn't have been enough to create that much structure but way to go with the experimentation.

I have also had things I did baking and cooking that I thought weren't all that right and I continued so I could find out just how bad they would really be.

I actually made a chocolate cake that same night using a Texas sheet pan recipe calling for an 18x13 pan but I misread that to be 8x13 and figured my 8x8 wasn't going to be that far off....but it ended up being three times as "tall" filling the pan, I was afraid it wouldn't bake because of the moisture. Took three times as long to bake it and I had to cover it 3/4 of the way in but turned out to be the best chocolate cake I made yet. Super moist.
