These classic fudge brownies are completely homemade, and better than anything from a box! They have a chewy fudge-like texture, rich chocolate flavor, and shiny crackly crust.

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter , cubed
  • 3 ounces (85 grams) bittersweet or dark chocolate , chopped
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (90 grams) all-purpose flour (90 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional add-ins: Up to 1 cup chocolate chips, nuts, candy pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square pan or line with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate and butter. Heat until melted, stirring often.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Beat by hand for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla.
  • Add flour and salt and mix just until incorporated. Stir in the chips or other mix-ins, if using.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for at least an hour before cutting into squares.
