Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup chopped dark chocolate or additional semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for fudge layer)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate or additional semisweet chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Pour the fudge mixture over the brownie batter and gently swirl it with a knife for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 16 even bars and serve.
