Fudgy Double Chocolate Brownies
Intensely chocolatey, fudgy in the center, with a crinkly top—these brownies are pure chocolate bliss.
These aren't just any brownies—they're intensely chocolatey, perfectly fudgy, and loaded with chocolate chips. The secret to that shiny, crackly top? Properly beating the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. These are guaranteed to satisfy any chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (40g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is pale and thick.
- 4
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- 5
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- 6
Fold in the chocolate chips.
- 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- 8
Bake for 22-25 minutes. The top should be set and slightly cracked, but a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
- 9
Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing. For cleanest cuts, refrigerate before slicing.
Chef's Tips
- •Prep all ingredients before you start cooking for a smoother experience.
- •Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference.
- •Don't overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed for best results.
- •Let meat rest after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, use a microwave at 50% power or warm in a covered pan over medium-low heat until heated through. For best texture, avoid reheating more than once.
