What You’ll Need

Let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need to make my fudge brownie recipe. See bottom of post’s recipe card for full instructions.

Butter– I use salted butter for most of my recipes. Unsalted is fine too.
Chocolate Chips– Use your favorite chocolate chips, milk or semi sweet works great.
All Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the brownies.
Kosher Salt- kosher salt is a coarse salt commonly used in cooking and baking.
Granulated Sugar– This fine white sugar gives the brownies their sweetness.
Light Brown Sugar– Make sure the brown sugar is packed when measuring.
Eggs– For consistency, use large eggs in my recipes.
Canola Oil– Canola oil is part of the wet ingredients of the brownies.
Chocolate Chunks– Chocolate Chunks can sometimes be found near the chocolate chips at the grocery store. I’ve cut my own chunks out of chocolate bars if I can’t find them pre-bagged.

How To Make Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Melt Butter and Chocolate Chips. Place butter into a large mixing bowl and microwave until melted and hot, about 45 seconds or so. Pour in chocolate chips and stir until mostly melted. It’s ok, if it’s not perfectly smooth. You might have to put back in microwave for another 30 seconds to help melting.

Dry Ingredients. Add flour, salt and sugars. Mix a few times then add eggs and yolk and oil. Mix until well combined then add chocolate chunks.

Transfer Brownie Batter To Baking Dish. Transfer batter to prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.

Bake. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until cooked through. Note, bake time can vary from oven to oven. Keep an eye on it between 35-40 minutes, knowing it may vary.

How To Tell When Brownies Are Done

For fudgy brownies, bake within the time range stated in the recipe. I like to take a toothpick as it nears the end of bake time, and carefully poke it in the middle of the brownies to make sure it comes out just about clean.

For a more gooey brownie, take them out toward the minimum baking time.

Tips For The Best Fudge Brownie Recipe

Choose the right pan. Be sure to use the pan specified in the recipe you choose. Going with a pan that’s too small can sometimes make center of the brownies uncooked or undercooked, while choosing one that’s too large can lead to the batter spreading out too much and the brownies being too thin and dry.
Don’t over mix your brownie batter. You want all of the brownie ingredients combined to make a smooth batter, but be careful not to overmix them. Doing so can result in tough, overworked brownies. One way to avoid this is to let the unbaked batter rest in the pan for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator, which gives it time to “relax” before being baked. The next day, bake as instructed.
Store them properly. Once your brownies have cooled down to room temperature, cover the pan tightly in aluminum foil or transfer the brownies to a sealed container. Alternatively, brownies can be frozen but that may affect their texture. To avoid this problem with freezing, wrap each cut brownie in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil before placing them all together in an airtight freezer bag.

How To Serve

Serve brownies room temperature or warmed for any occasion where brownies are needed. If you’d like to warm your brownies, place them on a heat proof plate and microwave for 15-20 seconds until warm. Try topping with vanilla ice cream too!

Leftovers

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container room temperature or refrigerated for up to 3 days. If refrigerating leftovers, brownies will be very firm. You can warm in the microwave, in a heat proof plate for 15-20 seconds to soften.
