Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (1 tsp if using unsalted butter)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups king arther unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups chocolate chips
1/2-3/4 cup chopped pecans (or favorite) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
  • In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan, melt the butter on low heat, then add the sugar and stir to combine.
  • Return the mixture to the heat or microwave briefly, just until it's hot but not bubbling. It will become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating the buter and sugar a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
  • Transfer the mix to a mixing bowl.
  • Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla.
  • Add the eggs, beating till smooth; then add teh flour and chips and nuts if using. Beat until well combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the brownies for 28-30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
  • The brownies should feel set both around the edges and in the center.
  • Remove from the oven, and after 5 minutes loosen the edges with a table knife, this will help preven the brownies from sinking in the center as they cool.
  • Cool completely before cutting and serving.

THE BEST FUDGE BROWNIES EVER



THE BEST FUDGE BROWNIES EVER image

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (8 oz.) butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups Dutch-process cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt (increase to 1 tsp. if using unsalted butter)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (6 1/4 oz.) all-purpose flour
2 cups (12 oz. bag) chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 in. pan. In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan over low heat, melt butter, then add sugar and stir to combine. Return mixture to heat (or microwave) briefly until hot but not bubbling. It'll become shiny and sugar will dissolve as you stir. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Add the eggs, beating until smooth; then add the flour and chips, beating until well combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the brownies for 28-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. The brownies should feel set both on the edges, and in the center. Remove from the oven, and after 5 minutes loosen the edges with a table knife. Cool completely before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is essential for ensuring that the fudge reaches the correct temperature. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test. To do this, drop a small amount of the fudge into a bowl of cold water. If the fudge forms a firm ball, it is ready. If it is too soft, continue cooking.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. Once the fudge reaches the correct temperature, remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Stir the fudge constantly: This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and will result in a smooth and creamy fudge.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious fudge that will be sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fudge a try!
