Don't know if it made it better or worse than the original recipe... but holy God these are delicious. It will be a while before I crave a normal brownie after this. Threw in a half cup of those real tiny chocolate chips (special dark). Good lord. So good. <br /><br />Will be making with white sugar soon to compare, though I doubt it will be much different. Delicious is delicious.

As for the pistachios, 2 cups equals 250 grams.<br />I bought some unshelled pistachios, and if you plan to do the same, make sure you double check, as some small closed pistachios can usually be found in the bag. It can be a nasty surprise if you bite on one.Flaprethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826583267443090149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-17421270942919976752012-08-03T13:47:07.367-04:002012-08-03T13:47:07.367-04:00Hey Chef John, so I love love love your recipes bu...Hey Chef John, so I love love love your recipes but is there any way you could make add the measurements in grams in recipes? <br />Would be nice for us that live in the metric system side of the world :) Was going to make the orange pistachio greenies today and realized i had no cup measuring cup anymore. <br /><br />Anyways keep making more delicious recipes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-80489111959805074862012-08-01T12:40:00.736-04:002012-08-01T12:40:00.736-04:00Great recipe!

Is one easier to use than the other for certain types of ingredients? Can I manage with just one or the other for chopping/mixing purposes or do I really need to buy both?Rakefethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462694799096925058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-78774846060807608582012-07-28T14:01:19.591-04:002012-07-28T14:01:19.591-04:00John, thank you for posting the glaze so quickly. ...John, thank you for posting the glaze so quickly.

But the greenies itself was very salty. I think i will try it with non salted pistachios next time? I really didn't think about it, because of the excitement, until I tasted the greenies and then came back to taste one shelled from the bag I used and it was a little on the salty side. Is it suppose to taste like this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-30101349844348202672012-07-28T01:27:21.147-04:002012-07-28T01:27:21.147-04:00Whenever something needs a hint of orange, lately ...Whenever something needs a hint of orange, lately I've been using one drop of orange oil (made for cooking).
