Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Add flour, cocoa and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate, pour into pan.
  • Bake 24 minutes for really gooey in the centre, 28 minutes for fudgey but still very moist (my favourie, shown in video & photos), 32 minutes for moist fudge-cake-like. (See in post for toothpick testphotos).

FUDGY CHOCOLATE CHUNK BROWNIES

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 large brownies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups sugar
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the foil.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Melt the butter and chopped chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool slightly, then stir in the sugar. Mix in the beaten eggs until combined. Stir in the flour mixture and 1 cup chocolate chunks until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chunks. Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly moist, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Lift out of the pan, peel off the foil and cut into pieces.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. You can use either semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, depending on your preference.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These chocolate brownies are a classic dessert that everyone will love. They are rich, fudgy, and have the perfect amount of chewiness. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these brownies at home in no time. So next time you have a chocolate craving, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
