Better than the box Fudge Brownies are just that…better than the box! The perfect fudge center, a slight cake like texture on the bottom and that beautiful shiny and crinkly top. These are super easy to make with no mixer required, these are the ultimate brownies.
How to make the perfect Fudge Brownie
The combination of both semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder really takes these brownies to the next level. This recipe requires only two bowls and no electric mixer. Melt the butter and semi sweet chocolate chips in one bowl while whisking the granulated sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla extract in another. Once the butter and chocolate are melted add it into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Slowly whisk in the flour and cocoa powder to make a thick brownie batter. Pour the batter into a prepared pan and bake!
How to get the perfect Shiny and Crinkle Top
The shiny and crinkle top is what makes me really love these fudge brownies. It is kind of paper thin and adds a great texture to these brownies. Whisking the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy is the key.
Do Not Overbake These Brownies
Over baking brownies is really easy to do. It is hard to tell when they are not because they are not as jiggly as a cake batter. After the brownies have been in the oven for 20 minutes, stick a toothpick in the brownie to determine if the brownie is ready to go. If the toothpick comes out super fudgy then the brownie is needs a few more minutes. If the toothpick comes out with a few wet crumbs, the brownies are done!
Enjoy
Once the brownies are baked and out of the oven it might be hard not to cut right into them but you must wait! It is best that they have time to cool and let the center of the brownies set a little bit more. If you are in a rush, you can refrigerate the brownies to cool down much quicker or leave them at room temperature for an hour. This will make it a lot easier to cut and the brownies won't fall apart. Cut the brownies into the desired size, 2-3 inches make the perfect square, serve and enjoy! If you don’t eat the entire tray in one seating, store the brownies in an airtight container for 3-4 days!
