Indulge in the ultimate chocolate decadence with these rich, fudgy, and irresistibly moist brownies. Made with a luscious blend of melted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips, this recipe creates a perfectly dense yet tender texture that's every chocoholic's dream. The addition of both granulated and brown sugar enhances the sweetness while lending a subtle caramel undertone, and the optional chocolate chunks add bursts of gooey, molten goodness in every bite. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a quick 25-minute bake, these homemade brownies are ideal for satisfying your sweet cravings or impressing guests at any gathering. Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or cooled and perfectly sliced, these brownies are the epitome of chocolate perfection!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully combined. Let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate-butter mixture until smooth and shiny.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the optional chocolate chunks or chips to add extra bursts of chocolate.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For clean slices, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.
Cut into 12 squares or as desired. Serve and enjoy your rich, fudgy, moist brownies!
