I have tried many homemade fudge brownie recipes, but they were never as good as my favorite brownie box mix (Ghirardelli), until I made these Fudge Brownies. The brownies were very moist, crunchy around the edges, and fudge like in the middle. To me, they were the best brownies I have ever had. These brownies have very few ingredients and are easy to prepare. My special needs son Caleb actually mixed these brownies up while I videoed him. You will probably have these ingredients on hand which will make it easy to whip up a batch.
You can use the brownies to make a Brownie Sundae for dessert, which is definitely one of my favorite desserts. A brownie sundae is a great dessert with its warm chocolate brownie including nuts (usually pecans or walnuts), vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, and more nuts. A lot of other people must enjoy a good brownie sundae, because it is usually on every restaurant menu. One of my favorite brownie sundaes is the Chocolate Thunder From Down Under at Outback and the Sundae I made using these delicious brownies was just as fantastic! You may also enjoy my White Chocolate Blondie recipe.
Fudge Brownie Recipe - I adapted this recipe from Sue’s Kitchen cookbook. I have written about Sue’s Kitchen in an earlier post. It is a great country cooking restaurant in Jonesboro, AR. The first time I made these brownies they had too much chocolate even for me. I change the amount of unsweetened cocoa from 1 cup to 3/4 cup. I also added another 1/4 cup sugar.
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking power
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans (or walnuts), lightly chopped
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray or butter a 8 inch square pan.
- With your mixture on medium speed, beat the eggs, sugar, very soft butter, and brown sugar until creamy.
- Add the flour, baking power, salt, and cocoa.
- DO NOT over mix once you add the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the nuts and the chocolate chips by Hand.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until the edges pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean once inserted in the center of the brownies.
