I absolutely love baking brownies! And my family definitely likes eating them. They are so easy to make yet decadent and yummy! These are great for a quick dessert fix or to bring at friends get together.
I also bake a couple of batches for my children to bring to school bake sales and events. With a thin, delicate, slightly crackle-top that gives way to a decadently rich, chewy, moist brownie center. Brownies so insanely chocolatey, they are a chocoholic’s dream. A recipe worth making again and again!
What makes a good brownie.
The best chocolate brownies are soft in the center and have a crust on top. This recipe couldn’t be simpler and doesn’t require much time to prepare! Brownies come in a variety of forms and may be either fudgy or cakey, depending on their density. They may include nuts, frosting, cream cheese, chocolate chips, or other ingredients.
Tips for best results
Brown sugar is a key ingredient in Brownies! it makes them moister, more flavor and makes for a more fudgy brownie.
Be careful not to over bake your brownies! You know when your brownies are perfectly cooked when they’re firm around the edges but they’re still soft to the touch in the middle.
After baking, let your brownie relax at room temperature for best results.
