These classic fudgy brownies are rich, chewy, and deeply chocolatey with a crackly top and gooey center. Perfect for chocolate lovers, they’re easy to make and ideal for any occasion—from casual get-togethers to indulgent midnight cravings.
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (60–70%), chopped
1¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder (optional, for cakier texture)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) pan with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add vanilla.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture until just combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and optional baking powder. Fold gently with a spatula—do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
For extra fudginess, underbake slightly and cool completely before cutting.
You can add chocolate chunks, nuts, or a swirl of peanut butter for variation.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
