The Best Fudgy Brownies Recipe by Tasty

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!

A recipe for decadent fudgy brownies that deliver intense cocoa flavor in every bite! Your friends and family will be demanding you make these again!

Fudgy Brownies

chocolate (chopped)

unsalted butter

Heat the Oven - Set the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat to 350ºF (177ºC). In an 8-inch square pan, place two 8-inch wide pieces of foil in the pan perpendicular to each other to create a sling. Press down on the sides and corners to ensure that the foil is flush with the pan. There should be some overhang on the sides. Grease the foil with cooking spray. Set aside.

Melt the Chocolate - In a small bowl, heat the bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate for 2 minutes in the microwave on 50% power. This will just start melting the chocolate. Add the butter slices to the chocolate, stir to roughly combine. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each duration until the mixture is completely melted and combined. About 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

Add the Cocoa Powder - Whisk the cocoa powder into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to 95ºF (35ºC) and below to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Combine the Eggs, Sugar, and Chocolate - In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt until combined and smooth. Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture.

Add the Flour - Gently fold the flour into the sugar mixture until no flour pockets remain. Do not overmix the batter.

Bake the Batter - Evenly spread the brownie batter into the greased baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.

Cool the Brownies - Completely cool the brownies in the pan, place on a wire rack, and let cool for about 1 ½ to 2 hours.

To Serve - Use the foil sling to carefully lift and remove the brownie from the tray. Discard the foil and cut 16 individual pieces.

I will try the all bittersweet chocolate or maybe 3/4. That way I won't get caught (I hope) Thanks for the tip

This was a huge hit. I have an off the wall question for some people, but I was wondering  how I could make this sweeter? I used 60% bittersweet and 20-22% butter fat cocoa. Would I up the sugar or lower the percentage of the bittersweet? I'm guessing  it would be the chocolate but hoping I'll be able to do it with the sugar for fear that I'll get busted in the house as I'm the only one that thinks it needs to be sweeter. Any guidance would be appreciated.

These were amazing! I baked them for 30 minutes and they ended up having a chocolate fondant layer which we loved! Might try baking them a little longer next time. Egg safety isn’t an issue where I live so this will be my ultimate slightly fondant-y recipe when I want that, and a few more minutes when I want something firmer.

Thank you such much, Nina! That's amazing that you made brownies for the president, so cool! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe and it will be in the rotation. Chopped nuts sound like a perfect addition!

I’ve been looking for a very good danish taste like butter cookies for so long and the ones I saw and tried doesn’t satisfy my taste. Then I saw your recipe of butter cookies yesterday and gave it a try and FINALLY I’ve found the perfect recipe! It’s soooo good and perfect to the point that I looked for your book from amazon and bought it. It’ll arrive on Wednesday! Yayyy can’t wait to try more of your recipes. But for the meantime I will try this brownie, it looks yummy too.

Hi Jessica, the first time I made it turned out really good but the second time bf third time the brownies were more black than brown, but it’s not burned. May I know why? Couldn’t seem to get an answer on google either.

Hi Jessica, 

I can't wait to try this recipe. I, however, mistakenly purchased bleached whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. What's the difference in the finished product if I use this flour?

These are amazing!  Thank you for developing such a great recipe! I have always loved to cook &amp; bake.  Since the 1970s, I have always used the brownie recipe in the old Family Circle Cookbook.  In our family, they were always called  "Presidential Brownies" because I actually made them for a President and he adored them. Well, it is time for the Presidential Brownie recipe to be retired because these are even better!   I did make one small adjustment, my husband begged me to add toasted chopped walnuts, which of course I did.

Have you tried Cacao powder in chocolate for brownies? If you did, how?

Just to share, my mother taught me years ago to use a plastic knife(disposable) to cut brownies. They don’t stick to the brownies even if they are still warm.  Give it a try!!
