Homemade Fudge Brownies: Rich, Gooey, and Irresistible
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly 🧈
- 2 cups Granulated sugar 🍬
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract ✨
- 4 Large eggs 🥚
- 1 cup All-purpose flour 🌾
- ¾ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (high quality makes a difference!) 🍫
- ½ tsp Salt 🧂
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (extra gooeyness!) 🍫💎
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. 📝🔥
- Mix Fats & Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. 🧈🍬🌪️
- Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps create that iconic crackly top! 🥚✨
- Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold them into the wet ingredients until just combined—don’t overbeat! 🌾🍫🤝
- Chocolate Boost: Stir in the chocolate chips for those pockets of melted bliss. 🍫💎🌀
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes. ⏲️🎯
- Pro Tip: Don’t overbake! A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs attached for the fudgiest results. 🤤
- Cool: Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing. This is the hardest part, but it ensures perfect squares! 🍽️🌬️🍫
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The Crackly Top Secret: Beating the eggs and sugar vigorously for a few minutes before adding the flour is what creates that thin, shiny, crinkle crust! ✨💎
- Better with Salt: Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt over the top right when they come out of the oven to balance the rich chocolate. 🧂🍫🎯
