Crackle Top Brownies (Brownies Kedut)

 This is nice moist brownies and supposedly with shiny crackle top but mine turned-out to be matte dark crust.... Taste-wise is great and I have the crackle top but am not 100% satisfied.... I need to figure out what to improve in order to achieve the desired beautiful top crust... either the steps or the quality of the ingredients.... Many others have tried the recipe and successful so I just need to try again.... From research I saw comment that the chocolate need to be hot when added to the batter.... that probably it....? Anyway, on the second thought what is the fuss... the brownies are still delicious and moist and definitely with crispy crust whether it is shiny or not... LOL!
