A brownie needs to be dense not dry, fudgy not too gooey, and chocolaty as well! these are a lot of hard criteria to fill. But we have the perfect chocolate brownie recipe for you!

Ingredients – Fudge Brownie

175g unsalted butter
113g semi-sweet chocolate bar
400 g granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
80 g unsweetened cocoa powder
125g all-purpose flour
optional: 1 cup chocolate chips

Method – Fudge Brownie

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan or line with aluminium foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out, and set them aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chopped chocolate. Whisk in the sugar until completely combined, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
Add the cocoa powder, flour, salt, remaining 2 ounces of chopped chocolate and the chocolate chips.
Fold it all together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. The batter will be very thick. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 minutes, then test the brownies with a toothpick. Insert it into the centre of the pan. If it comes out with wet batter, the brownies are not done. If there are only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.
Keep checking every 2 minutes until you have moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
