Description
Rich, decadent, and ultra-chocolatey brownies with a fudgy center and crackly top, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chopped chocolate together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
- Do not overbake; the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
- For extra fudginess, refrigerate brownies after cooling before slicing.
- Add nuts, caramel, or peanut butter swirls for variation.
