Ridiculously fudgy, chocolaty brownies made with ingredients you probably already have on hand… a recipe to keep forever.

Best Ever Brownies

water

cocoa powder (dutch-processed)

oz semisweet chocolate

instant coffee (optional)

butter

sugar

tsp vanilla extract

eggs

tsp salt

all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350F

Grease and lightly flour 11 x 7 pan (or 13x9 pan if you do not have 11x7) and set aside

In small saucepan, heat ⅔ cup water until it just begins to boil. Add cocoa powder, semisweet chocolate, and instant coffee. Immediately remove from heat and stir constantly until mixture is smooth and silky.

In large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter on 15 second increments, stirring at intervals until completely melted.

Stir in sugar and vanilla.

Stir in chocolate mixture, stirring until completely combined.

Add eggs and egg yolks, stirring until completely combined.

Sprinkle salt over batter and stir in.

Gradually stir in flour until completely combined.

Spread batter into prepared pan and bake on 350F for 30-35 minutes if using 11x7 pan and 25-30 if using 13x9 pan (time may vary depending on your individual oven. To check if brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center of the pan. If it comes up wet with unbaked batter return it to the oven and continue to check every five minutes. When the brownies are completely done, the toothpick will be slightly fudgy and may have a few crumbs, but it will be a a fudge-like consistency and not a wet batter consistency.

An easy way to jazz up plain ol’ boxed brownies!

Symphony Candy Bar Brownies Recipe

box brownie mix (for 9x13" pan (or your own homemade brownie recipe))

called

(4.25 oz each) Symphony candy bars with almonds and toffee chips

Mix the brownies according to box directions. Spray a 9x13&quot; pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Pour 1/2 the brownie mix into the pan (it won&#039;t seem like very much!).

Unwrap the 3 candy bars and place side by side on top of the batter in the pan. Don&#039;t break or chop up the candy bars - they will be whole.

Pour the remainder of the brownie mix over the top.

Bake according to directions on the brownie box. Let cool, cut, and serve.

Recipe video above. These are my &quot;go to&quot; brownies, the one I have been making for years that&#039;s super easy and outrageously chocolatey. The best fudgey chocolatey brownies made without fuss, in one bowl in 10 minutes. These are not the cakey kind, they&#039;re soft fudgey kind. Super rich and moist!

Easy Chocolate Brownies

/ 14 tbsp unsalted butter ((1 3/4 US sticks))

dark chocolate chips ((7 oz) (Note 1))

(175 grams) brown sugar (, loosely packed)

eggs (, lightly beaten)

(75 grams) plain flour

(30 grams) cocoa powder

salt

chocolate

walnuts (or other nuts)

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan forced).

Spray a 20cm/8" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (Note 2).

Place butter and chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (takes me 1m 30 sec) until melted. Stir until smooth.

Add sugar and vanilla, mix, then add eggs and mix well until smooth and molten.

Add flour, cocoa and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate, pour into pan.

Bake 24 minutes for really gooey in the centre, 28 minutes for fudgey but still very moist (my favourie, shown in video &amp; photos), 32 minutes for moist fudge-cake-like. (See in post for toothpick testphotos).

If you didn&#039;t use the extra chocolate for stirring in, reduce cook time by 2 minutes.

Rest for 10 minutes before lifting out of the pan. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Store in an airtight container for 4 days (bet they don&#x27;t last that long!) or freeze for 3 months.

These are truly the Most Perfect Brownies Ever! These are rich, decadent and full of soul satisfying chocolate!

Homemade Brownies Recipe

unsalted butter (melted)

Tablespoons vegetable oil

vanilla

all purpose flour

baking powder

Cocoa Powder

dark cocoa powder (I used Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder)

chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 9x13 baking pan with pan spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, oil and sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.

In another bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and both cocoa powder. If you want a darker brownie, go ahead and use 1/2 cup regular cocoa powder and 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. If you like your brownies a little more on the gooey side, bake for 40-45 minutes.

Allow the brownies to cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Pair with ice cream for a delectable treat!

Hershey’s Cream Cheese Brownies Recipe

Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips

Tablespoons Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder

cream cheese

(1.55 ounce) chocolate Hershey Bars

In the microwave, melt chocolate and butter until smooth. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat eggs and vanilla with the sugar. Slowly add in chocolate mixture until well combined.

In small bowl, sift together cocoa, salt and flour. Add mixture to rest of batter.

Pour batter into prepared baking pan.

Beat ingredients together until smooth. Pour over brownie batter. Use sharp knife to swirl together.

Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until just set and toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Top the baked brownies with original sized Hershey Bars and return to still warm (but turned off) oven until lightly melted. Allow to cool a little bit.

*You can also skip this step because the heat from the brownies will help melt the chocolate bars on top.

Recipe video above. High impact brownie with a neat layer of peanut butter stuffed inside so you get fudgy chocolate brownie and peanut butter in every single bite!Forget trying to spread peanut butter on a layer of brownie batter (it&#39;s impossible. Impossible!). Make your life easy and freeze a slab of peanut butter in your brownie pan, then just sandwich that between the batter.PS Sprinkling salt flakes on the peanut butter slab and again on top of the brownie is 👌🏻

Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies

(250 grams) smooth peanut butter spread for stuffing

tsp salt flakes (, divided)

(200 grams) dark chocolate chips ((7 oz) (Note 2))

loosely packed brown sugar (, loosely packed)

plain flour

cocoa powder

salt / kosher salt

Save 2 tbsp peanut butter for swirling, warm to loosen then freeze rest in lined pan. Melt butter and chocolate, mix in sugar, then eggs + vanilla, then flour + cocoa + salt. Pour half in pan, top with peanut butter slab, cover with remaining batter, swirl through warmed reserved peanut butter. Bake 32 min at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan). Cool 1 hr on counter, 3 hrs+ in fridge, cut.

ABBREVIATED RECIPE

Line pan - Grease a 20cm/8&quot; square pan with butter then line with baking paper (parchment).

Frozen peanut butter slab - Set aside 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter for the swirls. Warm the remaining peanut butter in the microwave to loosen (~30 sec on high), then pour into the pan. Spread evenly, sprinkle with half the sea salt flakes. Freeze for 2 - 3 hours until it&#39;s so firm you can pick it up. Lift out of pan using the paper, then put it back in the freezer on the paper while you make the batter (it softens quickly).

Line pan again with baking paper, with overhang so you can lift the brownie out.

Melt - Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between (takes me 1m 30 sec) until melted and smooth. Stir to combine.

Batter - Add sugar, mix, then add eggs and vanilla and mix well until smooth and molten. Add flour, cocoa and salt. Stir until smooth.

Stuff - Pour half the batter into the pan. Top with frozen peanut butter slab, spread with remaining batter.

Swirl - Randomly dollop/drizzle the 2 tbsp peanut butter across the surface. Use a butter knife or teaspoon to make random swirls, make grooves if needed to reveal brownie batter - Note 3 for tips!

Bake for 32 minutes. The middle will still jiggle (it sets when cool) but the edges should be firmish.

Set -  Cool in the pan on the counter for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let it properly set, else the peanut butter will ooze out when cutting. Cut into 16 squares. Let it come to room temperature for 15 minutes+ then devour! Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

FULL INSTRUCTIONS

I made your Stuffed Peanut Butter Brownies for the family tonight.  The BEST brownie EVER!  The peanut butter filling and swirl put it over the top, It's a keeper!

These were delicious. I followed the written recipe  to the letter (there's some discrepancies in the video) and they were perfect. A big hit at a birthday afternoon tea. A bit of a process but worth it! Will make these again.

I've added strawberry jam to mine Nagi. It's baking now... fingers crossed!!!

If you are a PB &amp; Chocolate fan - these are A-mazing.  And really quite easy to make.  And so good. And yummy. And delightful.  And problematic because I could eat them every day at least 3 times a day which might not be good for my waistline but potentially worth it.

These were super easy to make and delicious! I took them to work to share and got so many compliments. Will def make again

Have made this twice and each time ive extended the cook time as it looked too jiggly.

Not sure if its my oven. Could you please provide a video of how jiggly yours comes out?

Still turned out amazing and partner wants more. Pretty sure he's functioning high on sugar at the moment 😅

I love your recipes Nagi!!(I've never had one fail). Just wanted to say I love the abbreviated recipe and could you do them more often thanks Esther ps my brownie is in the oven it smells so good!

Omg, when you posted the recipie I was still at the cottage but as soon as I came home, I made them and they are out of this world!!!! I wish I could post a picture here
