DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES

The best double chocolate fudge brownies sprinkled with a little salt. As easy as a box mix, but taste even better. They can’t be beat.

WHAT MAKES THESE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES BETTER THAN A BOX

I used to be a firm believe that although a homemade brownie might be better than a boxed brownie, it wasn’t worth the work. Boxed brownies are really good, and they’re so easy. Well guess what, these brownies are so much better, and they are just as easy! You can make them in one bowl and it takes very few ingredients or time to whip them up. I was given this recipe by my best friend Lillie, so many years ago, and to this day I have never gone back to a box. I still have a love for a more cake like brownie with a hard top too, but these are my staple every week or day brownie.

INGREDIENTS

• Butter
• Granulated sugar
• Eggs
• Milk
• Vanilla
• Salt
• Baking powder
• Flour
• Cocoa powder
• Chocolate chips
• Flaked sea salt

HOW TO

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a 9×13 pan or ¼ cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix melted butter and sugar together. Add eggs, milk and vanilla and mix again.
3. In a small bowl whisk together dry ingredients, salt, baking powder, flour and cocoa powder. I do this so there aren’t clumps of cocoa powder that won’t mix well once added to the wet ingredients.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix again.
5. Spread batter evenly in pan and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. You want the edges to start to pull away from the sides of the pan and darken, but the middle to still jiggle. Then allow them to sit anf firm up while they cool.
7. Top with flaked salt

OPTIONAL MIX-INS OR TOPPINGS

• Nuts, I don’t love them in my brownies, but who am I to judge?
• Peanut butter cups, We chop them up and stick them on top instead of chips
• Peppermint patties, so good and minty
• Pretzels, these are best topped and not mixed in
• Marshmallows, I always buy Trader Joe’s chocolate covered mint marshmallows during the holidays and put them on top. It’s the perfect neighbor gift for the Holidays.

Basically the possibilities are endless with these perfect brownies!
