The Best Fudgy Brownies Ever! • Tasty

Super chocolatey, chewy, and fudgy.

Here is what you'll need!

The Best Fudgy Brownies
Servings: 9

INGREDIENTS
8 ounces good-quality chocolate
¾ cup butter, melted
1¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half, then save the other half for later.
Mix the butter and the sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes until the mixture has become fluffy and light in color.
Whisk in the reserved melted chocolate (make sure the chocolate is not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet 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 into a parchment paper-lined square 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!

I'm 13. Made this today for my father as it's father's Day. It was my first time baking. And everyone said it was super amazing. And my dad also said he would've eaten a lot more if he didn't have diabetes. I was glad to listen to these comments. All thanks to you Tasty.
Edit: For the people asking why I made sweets for my dad who has diabetes, just letting you all know that people with diabetes can have moderate amount of sweets as long as their sugar level is balanced. Plus, my dad has type 2 diabetes not type 1 so he's on the safer side.😊

A few things to remember while making these brownies:
1. Cool your butter after melting or it’ll cook the eggs that you have put.
2. Cool your melted chocolate as well
3. Make the egg, butter and sugar batter light yellow in colour.
4. As I used salted butter, I didn’t put anymore salt.
5. This recipe is accurate for the chef in the video as per his oven. But for some ovens, cooking time might exceed by 5-8 minutes.(I’m talking by keeping in mind the same temperature)
Be patient with the brownies and enjoy 😉

i’ve made these brownies many times and now they’re my go to recipe! i would definitely suggest them. a few things i did wrong the first time:
-not waiting for the chocolate to cool before mixing it in, the eggs could have cooked
-folding the batter too much after adding flour, forgot where i heard it makes the consistency of the batter not right and i think they come out more cakey or something?
-i also bake it for longer than them but my oven is probably different from theirs
-and a little sea salt to garnish never hurts!

to whoever plans to make this, have fun and good luck! :)

Tasty: "20-25 minutes baking time"
Me: "22.5 minutes it is then!"

[honganhvole]

I just made these brownie today and they are really amazing!

I used the measurement in grams interpreted by Lisa J in the comment, which is:

230 grams chocolate
170 grams butter
160 grams sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
96 grams flour
32 grams cocoa-powder
1 teaspoon salt

However, I modified the recipe a little bit to suit my taste. Because in Vietnam we don't eat food that are too sweet, I reduced the amount of sugar to only 70 grams. That really works because last time I followed the ice cream recipe of Tasty and ended up with a batch of super sweet cream that I could hardly eat. So, please consider carefully before you start making these brownies.

I used 65% chocolate for these brownies. If you use other types, remember to modify the amount of sugar based on the percentage of your chocolate. My brownies are not really sweet, full of chocolate flavor and really tasty!

My family is not very fond of fat so I used 150 grams of butter instead of 170 grams. Next time I will try reducing more.

About baking time, I baked them in 25 minutes in total. Different ovens work differently, hence you should watch out the time. You can use a toothpick to test whether the cake is fully cooked or still raw.

The chocolate chunks I used are the same 65% chocolate but I wish I had added more to make the cake more fudgy. Next time I will try adding some extra chocolate chips.

Don't fold the batter too long or it will become as hard as a bread dough. If so, slowly add some milk and mix them until you get the same consistency as in the video. Mine was still a little bit dry when I baked but the brownies came out so good.

So these are some tips for you! Try it because this is super delicious! I'm waiting for my parents to come home and try these amazing brownies with me!

That time of the year again, where we all come back to this video while we're fasting😂

[jessica-ebki]

me and my friend made this today by yourselves and they turned out great :) we're only 12 so if you want to try it but think it's too hard, just go for it! here are some tips/hacks that you may need while doing this:

- use baking chocolate. if you use normal everyday chocolate, like cadbury chocolate, the melted chocolate would not melt properly and it would harden again really quickly (even at room temperature)
- if you happen to not have white sugar, ou can substitute with brown sugar! it tastes just as good :)
- do not put too much salt. make sure to flatten out the top of the measuring spoon before pouring the salt into the batter
- let the melted chocolate cool down for awhile before adding into the mixture! if not, the eggs may cook!
- do not over mix! if you do, the batter will come out really thick and it would have a cake-like consistentcy after baking, if you happen to accidentally over mix, don't worry! just add milk until it has about the same consistentcy as the batter in the video :)

hope these tips/hacks helped you! good luck with your brownies <3

How is it Every Ramadan I end up here??!?!

I notice tasty has alot of "the best brownie you'll ever eat" videos.

[Nishka]

I agree with some of the comments I've made these brownies countless times because this is hands down one of the best recipes I have a few pointers that you should know before making them,
1. Pls melt the butter completely or else your batter will get too thick.
2.Use less sugar than what the recipe says because trust me it will be too sweet, I use about 3/4 cups.
3. Use bakers chocolate.
4. use a mixture of white chocolate and dark chocolate, the mix makes these 1000% better.
5. If the batters too thick or you've over mixed then just add small amounts of milk until its the same consistency as in the video.
6. Find a pan that is the right size.
7. Everyone's oven is different so keep an eye on them as sometimes they can overcook or undercook

The fact that 90% of the Tasty workers don't know how to scrape the bowl concerns me about the future!!!!

[amybelleordona]

I am making these right now! Will be updating!

Update:
I made this using Ghirardelli 70% Cacao baking bar for the ganache that would be poured into the batter, and then I used Baker’s semisweet 56% baking bar for the chunks of chocolate that were to be folded into the brownie batter. I also used Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder because I’m not a big fan of brownies being too sweet.
I followed Tasty’s recipe exactly and I still found the brownies too sweet to eat. The brownies were very decadent because of the dark chocolate that I used, but I wish I used less sugar.
I used a 9x9x2 inch pan and I had to bake the brownies for 35 minutes instead of 25 because the brownies were a bit undercooked when I initially pulled them out. This gave the brownies a nice crispy top layer and a nice fudgy inside. (I am a fan of fudgy brownies rather than cakey ones)

Tips:
When melting the butter, chop it into slices to allow it to melt faster. I used my microwave and I melted it for a minute using 10 second intervals and about 5 seconds in between each interval. I didn’t melt it all the way. I melted it until only a few chunks of butter were left and just stirred it until it disappeared. Then let it cool while you chop your chocolate.
When whisking your butter and sugar together, you don’t need an electric mixer. You’re going to have to whisk the crap out of it though until the texture looks similar to Tasty’s. (This took me about 5 minutes.)
If you’re super into sweets, use as much sugar that is stated in the video. But since I got a headache from eating two bites of my brownie, I suggest probably using only 3/4 or 1/2 a cup of sugar when making these things.
Lightly fold in the chocolate chunks. Mine were near the bottom when I cut into them. They didn’t sink all the way to the bottom but it’d be nice if they were on top of the brownies.

If you’ve ever tried Pizza Hut’s Hershey’s Brownies, these taste practically identical to that. (If you made your’s like how I made mine)
Good luck everyone! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! :)

2nd update:
They taste better after I refrigerated them overnight, but they’re still too sweet. I made a second batch today with a few modifications and I’ll see how they turned out once they’ve cooled down.

3rd update:
This time, I used Baker’s chocolate and I used the unsweetened one (100% cacao). Because of this, I ended up using the 1 and 1/4 cup of sugar. The brownies were just right for me! Not too sweet and were decadent! For the chocolate chunks, I used German sweet chocolate (48% cacao) and they weren’t overpowering! Still used the special dark cocoa powder and it was fine. The only thing that did end up changing though was the baking time, I left my brownies in for 30 minutes and they were too dry. So, I’d probably change the baking time to 25 minutes, maybe even less. Overall, I’m happy with how they turned out!

[PanthaLyfe]

My daughter has made these 3 times now..we found them sweet even after adding less but the next day after making it seems to settle and taste perfect. Love this recipe

[calbck]

Best brownies I have ever made they tasted amazing and all of my friends and family loved them. The recipe is so easy and the ingredients are so common and simple so I would 100% recommend I need to make these again soon fr😍😍😍

[Fluffymonkeyem]

These are perfect. I baked mine slightly extra (about 30 mins) because they were a little *too* fudgy. I think it's because I couldn't help but add extra melted chocolate. They turned out super fudgy and dreamy and then set up perfectly the next day. Honestly the best brownies I've ever had. I'm making them again tonight because they've become highly requested.

[NAwal]

I have been trying brownie recipes for a while now and have always been disappointed with the results until today.
Got the perfect fudge (baked a little extra so that it isn't too gooey) and the winner - the perfect crusty top 😍
Things I did:
•Used semi sweet chocolate chips.
•Reduced the salt ! 1 tsp is wayyy too much. I added 1/4 tsp and even that brought in the needed saltiness.
•Added a tbsp of flavourless oil (I had seen it in some other recipe that it gives extra moistness to the brownie)
• for someone who doesn't like too much sweetness, reduce the sugar a little.
• I used 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup regular white sugar. (Again, brown sugar adds to the flavour of the brownie)
Enjoy y'all !

[tashistudios]

Oh my god these are literally the best brownies I’ve ever made.

[rahul]

I don't understand why can't they put ingredients in grams.
