The Best Fudgy Brownies

Why settle for box mix brownies when you can easily make the best fudgy brownies at home? These gooey and rich brownies are full of real chocolate, easy to make, and taste better than store-bought ones. No mixer needed, just a few simple steps and ingredients from your kitchen!

Ingredients Table

Ingredient	Amount
Semi-sweet chocolate	8 oz (225 g)
Butter (melted)	12 tablespoons
Sugar	1 ¼ cups (250 g)
Eggs	2
Vanilla extract	2 teaspoons
All-purpose flour	¾ cup (95 g)
Cocoa powder	¼ cup (30 g)
Salt	1 teaspoon

About the Ingredients

These brownies are made using simple ingredients you probably already have at home. The key to rich flavor is using good-quality chocolate. Cocoa powder adds extra chocolate depth, while butter and sugar give the brownies their moist, fudgy texture. A touch of vanilla and salt balances out the sweetness.

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Chop the chocolate. Melt half of it in the microwave, saving the rest for later.
In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar with a hand mixer. Then beat in the eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add the melted chocolate (make sure it’s not hot) and mix well.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together. Don’t overmix.
Add the remaining chocolate chunks and stir in gently.
Pour the batter into your pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20–25 minutes depending on how fudgy you like them. Let them cool completely before cutting.
Slice and serve with cold milk or ice cream. Enjoy!
