Amazing, Really Amazing, Fudge Brownies image

Intense, dark, fudgy, gooey, everything a brownie should be. You can vary the topping, using chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, toffee bits, nuts, M&Ms, whatever floats your boat. The recipe originally started out as something in the Magnolia Bakery cookbook, but grew into something much more personal. I now make these every week, keeping a stash in the freezer for emergency chocolate needs. Daphna, you asked for the recipe, here it is.

Time 1h

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup butter (I usually use margarine to kee it non-dairy)
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs (the original recipe says room temperature, but I've used them straight out of the fridge)
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
12 ounces chocolate chips (or white chocolate chips, or toffee bits, or candied pecans, or peanuts, or M&Ms, you get the pictur)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • The original recipe says to grease a 12 X 18 inch jelly roll pan, but I use a 9 x13 inch cake pan for intense denseness, and don't grease it, just line it with parchment paper).
  • Melt the chocolate with the butter, either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Stir until smooth. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Mix in the sugar and the eggs and the vanilla extract.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle the chips (nuts, whatever) evenly over the top of the batter.
  • The original recipe says to bake for 25-28 minutes until a cake tester comes out with some moist crumbs attached to it. This never works for me. I usually have to let it go for about 40-45 minutes. This is probably because my pan is more condensed than the jelly roll pan.
  • Do not overbake!
  • I usually let the brownies cool in the pan, the keep them in the fridge overnight. The I just lift them out of the pan by the parchment paper, place the whole thing on a cutting board and then it's the perfect state for cutting into perfect brownie squares.
  • Some of us like the edges the best, others prefer the center.
