Fudge Brownies

Monday, February 10, 2014 - Posted by Bethany
Valentine's week is here! I love all the special treats is brings. One of my new favorite recipes is this brownie recipe. So moist and chocolaty, they just melt right in your mouth. I've been playing with add-ins to make them unique (Salted Caramel Brownies, anyone?). More variations to come, but lets just start with this basic, yet delicious, perfect brownie.


Fudge Brownies

Makes an 8 x 8" pan:
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 stick butter
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup all purpose flour




Heat oven to 350° F. Spray 8 x 8 pan with non-stick spray, or use butter to grease pan. Microwave chocolate and butter until just melted, do 30-seconds at a time, stirring between. Mix in sugar, then eggs one at a time. Next add salt and vanilla. Stir in flour until well blended. Heat in oven for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

*Can double this recipe for a 9 x 13" pan.
