fudgy brownies
I have not used a single boxed brownie mix since finding this recipe for fudgy brownies in Everyday Food a few years ago. They are simple to make and simply the best. I have adapted the recipe just a little to make the steps easier.
fudgy brownies
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 c semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/4 c sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 c flour
Melt butter and chocolate in microwave (about 1 to 2 minutes). Stir until smooth and then whisk in sugar and salt. Whisk in eggs. Whisk in flour. Pour into an 8x8 pan lined with buttered foil and bake at 350 for 45 - 50 minutes.
When the brownies are completely cool, lift them out of the pan with the foil, remove the foil, and cut the brownies into squares. For what looks like a fancy dessert, I cut them into perfect 1 inch squares and drizzle them with chocolate glaze...seriously impressive. Of course, when it's just us at home, my kids (and husband) just pull off pieces before I get a chance to cut them.
The photo is from Everyday Food...and you can find the original recipe here.
Oh, I love brownies! This recipe looks so easy and good. I'll have to make some soon...when it's cool enough to bake!

I think I just gained five lbs. looking at the photos!
I'm a brownie FANATIC, and I can't wait to get the hubby to bake these for me!

Oh dear. I am really not supposed to have all that chocolate and sugar, but I just might have to try those. They look way too good.

That sounds wonderfully easy. I love brownies but I really can't behave myself while they are in the house!

Oh, my, Julie, you found my weakness. Oh, yummy goodness!
I will definitely try that recipe.
Have a great day, and don't eat all the brownies! :-)
