The best brownies are chewy and fudgy, with an almost melt-in-your-mouth texture to accentuate the rich chocolate flavors. Ultra Fudgy Brownies takes that idea and sprints with it. Everything from the melted chocolate-infused interior to the bursts of even more chocolate makes these brownies impossibly delicious and almost ooey-gooey. Ultra Fudgy Brownies are the perfect treat whether it’s Valentine’s Day or just a day where you want to spoil your loved one or yourself.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
- 12 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 –Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 3 –Chop the chocolate into chunks.
Step 4 –In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 of the chocolate in the microwave, heating it in 20-second intervals and stirring between intervals.
Step 5 –In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar using an electric hand mixer until thoroughly combined.
Step 6 –Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until the mixture is fluffy and light, for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7 –Slowly whisk in the melted chocolate, making sure it is not too hot to prevent scrambling the eggs.
Step 8 –Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and fold them into the wet ingredients as gently as possible. Overmixing will ruin the fudgy texture of the brownies.
Step 9 –Fold in the unmelted chocolate chunks.
Step 10 –Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
Step 11 –Bake until the brownies reach your desired level of doneness, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 12 –Allow it to cool completely before serving.
