THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
• Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
• In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
• Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
• Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
• Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
• Enjoy!

FUDGY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving about a 2-inch overhang of foil on at least 2 sides, and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl and set aside. Bring 1-inch of water to a simmer in medium saucepan over medium heat. Put both the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates and butter in a medium heatproof bowl that sits comfortably over the saucepan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the sugar, vanilla and eggs together in a large bowl. Add the chocolate mixture and stir until blended and then stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Spread in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil and cut into squares.

THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
• Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
• Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
• Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment and spray again.
• Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. Add the milk, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips and fold with a rubber spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until fully set and the top is firm, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Slice into 9 squares and serve.
