Time 45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
Enjoy!

DANGEROUSLY FUDGY BROWNIES

Dangerously Fudgy Brownies image

If you're looking for a brownie that is moist and not too sweet then you have met your match. The brownie layer uses darker chocolate and cocoa so the sugar isn't too overpowering. The icing on top adds a bit of sweetness to balance out the brownie flavor. You definitely need to have a tall glass of milk on standby for these bad boys. So good!

Ingredients

2 stick(s) butter
4 cup(s) semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, divided
3/4 cup(s) Dutch processed cocoa (such as Hershey's Special Dark)
2 cup(s) granulated sugar
4 - large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon(s) instant coffee
1 tablespoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk, 14oz
1 cup(s) chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Steps:

Place sticks of butter and 2 cups chocolate chips in large mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 90 seconds or until melted.
Sift cocoa and add to chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, eggs, coffee, and vanilla. Mix well and stir into chocolate mixture.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. If including, take out one tablespoon of flour mixture and toss with nuts.
Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture. Mix well. Then stir in nut/flour mixture.
Spoon batter into a 9" x 13" baking pan lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Lining the pan with foil is optional but it makes for easy cleanup. If not using foil, simply spray pan directly.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While brownies are baking, combine sweetened condensed milk and remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until completely melted and combined.
Pour mixture onto brownies when they come out of the oven. Spread to edges. Cool completely.
Lift foil lining from pan and put on flat surface. Cut brownies into 12 large squares or 24 smaller ones.
Grab a glass of ice cold milk and enjoy!

Tips:

To achieve the perfect fudgy texture, use a combination of butter and oil in the batter. Butter adds richness and flavor, while oil helps keep the brownies moist and chewy.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from sinking in the center.
Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These fudgy brownies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're rich, chocolatey, and oh-so-fudgy. Plus, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give these brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
