Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzle)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for drizzle)

How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of sugar until well combined.
  3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, if desired, for extra chocolatey goodness.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. While the brownies are baking, prepare the chocolate drizzle. In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  9. Once the brownies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top.
  10. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best texture.
  • Don’t overbake! The brownies should be slightly underbaked for that fudgy consistency.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to achieve clean edges.
  • If you like nuts, consider adding 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a gluten-free option.
  • Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Top with a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet and salty twist.
  • Mix in some peppermint extract for a festive variation.
  • Replace chocolate chips with peanut butter chips for a nutty flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
  • Whipped cream and fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
  • A drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
  • Espresso or coffee to balance the sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For reheating, pop a brownie in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy that fresh-baked taste again.
