But let&#8217;s be honest, while we crave the richness of chocolate truffles and flourless chocolate cake, we&#8217;re not always interested in the fuss that comes with some of these elaborate treats. That&#8217;s where a recipe that&#8217;s both homey <em>and<\/em> chocolaty comes in\u2014we&#8217;re talking a fudgy brownie recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Learning how to make fudgy brownies is essential when it comes to satisfying urgent chocolate cravings. The good news is that making these chewy, delicious brownies from scratch isn&#8217;t too difficult and you don&#8217;t need any fancy gear\u2014just plenty of chocolate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1579506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BWCR21_190988_E01_07_15b-1.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Bwcr21 190988 E01 07 15b\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Fudgy Brownie Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Sugar<\/li>\n<li>Packed brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>Butter<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Instant coffee granules, optional<\/li>\n<li>Bittersweet chocolate chips<\/li>\n<li>Eggs<\/li>\n<li>Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>All-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>Baking soda<\/li>\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Start melting<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1579581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BWCR21_190988_E01_07_3b.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Bwcr21 190988 E01 07 3b\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To start making the fudgy brownies, fill a heavy saucepan with the sugars, butter, water and coffee granules. Turn on the heat and stir, stir, stir until the mixture comes to a boil.<\/p>\n<p>Once boiling, remove the mix from the heat. Then add in 1-3\/4 cups of the chocolate chips (we&#8217;ll come back to that other cup later). Stir in the chips until melted and the mixture is nice and smooth. Let this cool slightly before moving onto the next step.<\/p>\n<p><em>Test Kitchen\u00a0Tip: <\/em>The instant coffee in this recipe isn&#8217;t to give the brownies a mocha flavor. A touch of instant coffee or espresso powder gives the chocolate extra depth of flavor. If you&#8217;re really not a coffee fan (or don&#8217;t have any instant granules at home), you can omit it from the recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Whisk the eggs<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1579590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BWCR21_190988_E01_07_4b.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Bwcr21 190988 E01 07 4b\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to brownies, everyone looks for that crinkly, tissue paper-like top. Something about that texture just screams\u00a0<em>these are going to be good<\/em>. And the secret to getting that crackled finish: whisking the eggs.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to give your eggs a good whisking until they&#8217;re nice and frothy; this should take about three minutes of whisking by hand.<\/p>\n<p>When the eggs are perfectly foamy, add in the vanilla extract. Like the instant coffee in this recipe, vanilla really amplifies the chocolate flavor. Don&#8217;t skip it!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add the chocolate mixture<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1579591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BWCR21_190988_E01_07_5b.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Bwcr21 190988 E01 07 5b\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Next, it&#8217;s time to start adding the fudgy, chocolate mix to the eggs. Be sure that the chocolate isn&#8217;t too hot; it the chocolate mix is super hot, it will cook the eggs (and no one wants chocolate scrambled eggs).<\/p>\n<p>Start by whisking in a small amount of the warm chocolate into the eggs, then add in the remaining chocolate until you have a consistent mix.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Add the dry ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1579597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BWCR21_190988_E01_07_7b-1.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Bwcr21 190988 E01 07 7b\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a separate bowl stir together the flour, baking soda and salt.

Fold them in until just combined.<\/p>\n<p><em>Test Kitchen Tip: <\/em>This recipe calls for more of the same chips melted into the batter, but you can fold in any kind of chip you like here: milk chocolate, white chocolate or even some fun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-baking-chips-we-love\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/flavored-baking-chips-we-love\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">flavored baking chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Prep your baking dish<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1579563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BWCR21_190988_E01_07_1b.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Bwcr21 190988 E01 07 1b\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>With the batter complete, it&#8217;s time to prep the baking pan. You&#8217;ll want to use a light-colored metal pan here. You also want to line the pan so you can remove the brownies easily.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, give the pan a quick coating of cooking spray and grab a roll of parchment paper (aluminum foil will also work) to line the pan. You can use a single sheet and carefully fold the edges in. Or use two sheets\u2014one going across one way and the other going perpendicular.<\/p>\n<p><em>Test Kitchen\u00a0Tip:<\/em> If you only have dark metal pans, that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t bake brownies!

I followed the direction exactly, with the exception of using milk chocolate rather than the semi-sweet. I only have 8x8 pans...and there was sooo much batter...I knew I should have used a larger pan...but proceeded. The brownies rose almost 2 inches above the top of the pan. I baked 40min, lower rack in a 325 degree oven. Still very sloppy. So baked 10 more minutes. Not wanting to go beyond the time and the warning to not over-baked...I took them out depending on the reviews that side they would firm up as they cooled. After an hour of cooling the center sunk leaving an 8x8 brownie bowl! The top was wonderfully crackly, the edges were a bit airy, and the center still uncooked but much like a lava cake. The taste was very good though. I will try these again, in a larger pan obviously. And maybe I'll try a slightly hotter oven. Go for it...the milk chocolate made a good taste...no coffee flavor 'came through'. Very rich tasting though. I'm not a sweet eater anymore, but I had to try them before thinking of giving it another go at a later time.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-02-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CollyJackson"},"reviewBody":"We didn't like these as well as my own recipe.

I used 1\/2 cup of canola oil and 1 TB of unsalted butter. The other change was I did use whole wheat pastry flour instead of AP. My husband really liked these.

I used Starbucks VIA granules and Ghiradelli bittersweet chips (one bag bittersweet for the batter and one bag semi sweet added to the batter after made since that was all I had.)  I love the parchment paper idea... brilliant time saver!  I would say like all brownies there is that fine line of being done and not done.

These brownies are rich and delicious. As stated in another review, the perfect crumb. They are rich so a small piece is satisfying. This would make a great base to a brownie sundae. As a Taste Recipes Volunteer Field Editor, I, too, can highly recommend this recipe. The biggest challenge is getting the parchment right so the edges look pretty. But just because it doesn't look pretty doesn't mean they don't taste great. For best results I highly recommend baking in the recommended pan size.
