Cheryl's Fudge Brownie Recipe

Brownie Directions

1. 1

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a saucepan, combine the unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mix in Sugar and Eggs

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate mixture with granulated sugar. Mix well until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly mixed.

5. 5

   Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Fold in Chocolate Chips

   Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the brownie batter until evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Prepare Baking Pan

   Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.

8. 8

   Bake the Brownies

   Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

9. 9

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
