When I say these are the best ever brownies, I REALLY mean it you guys. We are a brownie loving family; we make brownies at least once a week, and this if my favorite recipe for quick and easy fudge brownies.
I remember a few years ago, I did not have a perfect go-to brownie recipe. My brownies would either come out too cakey and dry or too flat and hard. I was never able to get that fudgy chewy inside with a nice crust on top. After months of recipe development and about 30+ pans of brownies I finally got it! ????
Although these brownies are completely from scratch, the batter comes together very quickly. Once you start making brownies from scratch I promise you will never go back to boxed mix again!
Amazing brownies Recipe
unsalted butter can also be used + an additional 1//4 teaspoon salt. Brownies can also be baked in a round pie dish or 9x9 square pan but will be a little thinner. To double the recipe, bake in a 13x9 pan 5-10 minutes longer.

tHese are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy I tried them. thank you for this recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!
what should I do if my sides are cooked but my middle is not.
place tin foil around the edges over the brownies and on sides (3 inches in from sides over the brownies) and cook 10 min or so longer. Then check center until it’s done
I’Ve tried this recipe and the result is Amazing. Crunchy on the outside moist inside. 😊
Does this work with cocoa powder or the CHOCOLATE squares? I’ve never made homemade brownies.
Thanks
Oops! Not sure why chocolate is in caps…
Yes, as long as it’s baking chocolate, it should work!
Is it vanilla extract that you used? Can I use vanilla syrup? Sorry, I’m just a newbie at baking. Thanks!
i added sea salt and choc. chips to top as well.
Hai..Can i use coarse sugar instead granulated sugar in fudge brownies? Tq LaylaLayla😊
Yes, that should be fine!
Hai Layla..can you please give the portion of the ingredients for 20-24 servings ? I really need it. Thanks Layla
Double the recipe and bake in a 9×13” pan then cut into small squares 24 pieces (cut four down and six across, to yield 24 squares). Enjoy!
Hi! Can I use hershey’s cocoa unsweetened chocolate for this? Thanks!
Yes you can!
Can I omit the chocolate chips? I do not like them in my brownies>
Yes!
I modified it a little because I’m a chocolate addict. So I up the unsweetened chocolate to 3 oz and the semisweet chocolate chips to 3/4 cup but down the sugar to 1/2 cup. I also prefer the more complex flavours from brown sugar and substituted that in. Delicious!
Very good! I used really good quality chocolate and they were amazing. Thank you!
Has any of you made them? they look great! but I would like to know what the results are in a “normal” kitchen, were they fudgy? have a nice paper-thin crust?, very “chocolatey”? thank you.
doubled recipe added about 1/4 cup strong coffee and used really good Belgium Chocolate powder and dark chocolate wafers……Wonderful so easy and so good….thank you very much.
I added some instant coffee granules (about 3 tsp) and 1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon and chopped marshmallows. Mocha rocky road brownies!
These were fantastic. Thank you!
