Rich & Fudgy Homemade Brownies

I have a major thing for brownies. And not just any brownie, but those amazing homemade kind that just seem to ooze chocolate. Our Rich and Fudgy Brownies are everything you want from a brownie.

If you’re a chocolate lover, these brownies are definitely for you!

Wanna make these fudgy brownies even better?

My favorite way to really turn these double chocolate brownies into a whole dessert is to add some vanilla ice cream and a little drizzle of caramel!

If you’re supposed to bring a dessert to an event, just pick these brownies.

Want to bring something for the host, but not sure what they need? It’s these brownies – I promise.

Did I mention how quick and easy these brownies are to make. You could have the kids help you make them, but you probably won’t want to share.

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 ¼ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
2. In a sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the sugar and stir well. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, just until the mixture begins to simmer (do not allow the mixture to come to a full simmer). Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the butter and sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
5. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
6. Reserve ½ cup of the chocolate chips or chunks. Stir the rest of the chocolate chips or chunks into the brownie batter.
7. Spread the batter into a greased 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved ½ cup of chocolate chips or chunks over the top of the batter.
8. Bake the brownies at 350F for 30-40 minutes, until the edges are set.
9. When the brownies are ready, a toothpick inserted into the center will come out mostly clean and not coated with raw brownie batter.
10. Cool the brownies in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.

Notes

These brownies are so rich and decadent! So perfect for the chocolate lover.
I would recommend serving these topped with vanilla ice cream or with whipped cream and fresh berries. Yum!
