    Fudgy Brownies

    For chocolate lovers, fudgy brownies fanatics out there.. please spare some time in your life to make these ohh so amazingly yummy super fudgy chocolate brownies.

    Ok, let's take a deep breath and get on with today's recipe.

    Fudgy Brownies

    Some like their brownies cakey and some like them fudgy. Me!

    For me it's not that one is better than the other, it's just a matter of preference. Really.

    I love fudgy brownies. My husband LOVES them.

    I don't make brownies so often but when I do, I like to make them using this recipe. Go big or go home, right?

    What I really love about fudgy brownies is the texture. Chewy and.. yes, fudgy. There's just something about the texture that gives such satisfaction when you have your first bite.

    Oh la la!

    The rich chocolate taste, the crinkly top. I could go on forever. I could, but I won't.

    Fudgy Brownies

    How To Achieve Fudgy Brownie Texture

    Brownies are the easiest treat to make. You don't need any fancy machine or device. Just a bowl, a whisk and you're ready to go.

    There are some tips, if you could call them that, on how to convert ordinary brownies to yummilicious ones like these fudgy brownies.

    • more butter and chocolate - yes, you'll be needing more butter and chocolate or fat content for your fudgy brownies compared to cakey brownies
    • all purpose flour - don't use cake flour or leavening agent for your fudgy brownies
    • brown sugar - somehow brown sugar helps in creating that chewy fudgy texture
    • don't over bake - keep checking towards the end of cooking time because your brownie can go from perfect moist fudgy to hard dense, and dry ones

    Honestly, it's not such a complicated recipe to begin with. If anything, I would say just don't over bake them, you'll be fine.

    How To Know When The Brownies Are Cooked

    As I mentioned earlier, it's important that you don't over bake your fudgy brownies.

    What I usually do is I keep checking on it when it's nearing 18 minutes cooking time.

    I use a wooden skewer and insert it in the middle of the pan. If the skewer comes out wet, then I will continue baking the brownies for 2 minutes more and then check again.

    If the skewer comes out crumbly wet, then it's perfectly cooked. The key is the skewer needs to still come out wet yet there are crumbs on it also.

    If the skewer comes out totally clean then, yea.. you've over baked it. It's still going to taste delicious but you will not have the fudgy texture.

    I hope you will give this super simple and delicious brownies a try.

      Will it be too bitter if I use 70% dark chocolate ?

        Hi Varsha! Dark chocolate 70% already has its bitterness taste to begin with, so expect that taste to be in your brownies if you use it. Hope it helps!

      Hi Bea, i tried this recipe today and it tastes amazing. Thank you! Only thing was when i cut the brownie up into smaller squares like you did, they were very crumbly and kept breaking apart. So while it tasted great, i didn’t get nice perfect shapes like yours.

        Hi Alex! Happy to know that you liked it! What I do is slice it when it's totally cold and I wipe the knife clean after each slice. Insert offset spatula/knife blade underneath each piece to transfer. Hope the tips help!

      Love your recipes! Can you add chocolates to this recipe? Such as Maltesers or chocolate chunks/Oreos etc?

      Would I need to change anything?
      Thanks
