Super easy, these brownies draw raves as if I were baking all day. I like to make these, regular brownies and cream cheese brownies at the same time and serve a variety plate. (I found this recipe online somewhere in the last few years, not sure of the original source.)

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Opt for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense brownies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the brownies until they are just set: Overbaking will dry out the brownies. Check the brownies for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, they are done.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
Garnish the brownies with your favorite toppings: You can add a variety of toppings to your brownies, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or whipped cream.
Serve the brownies warm or at room temperature: Brownies are best enjoyed when they are warm or at room temperature. If you store them in the refrigerator, let them come to room temperature before serving.
