Indulge in the decadent delight of King Arthur Fudgy Brownies, a recipe that strikes the perfect balance between rich chocolate flavor and irresistibly gooey texture. Made with semi-sweet chocolate, a touch of unsweetened cocoa powder, and two types of sugar—granulated and brown—these brownies boast a deep, luxurious sweetness with a hint of caramel undertone. The easy 15-minute prep requires whisking basic pantry ingredients together for a foolproof, no-fuss dessert that bakes to perfection in just 25 minutes. Their glossy top and moist, fudgy center make them a show-stopping choice for any chocolate lover. Whether you enjoy them straight from the pan or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, these homemade brownies are destined to be your new favorite treat.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition to ensure the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to combine evenly.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter rich and dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft but no longer jiggles. A toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge should come out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 9 squares.
Serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert!
