OMG Fudge Brownies - Best Ever!

Oh, sweet chocolate.  Thine velvety love wraps around my taste buds imprisoning me to your decadence, enslaving me to your every whimsy.

Chocolate is truly poetry for the mouth.  It can be crafted into so many forms, each rivaling the other for gustatory superiority.

When you want a rich, decadent uber chocolate experience, look no further than the fudge brownie. This moist, deeply cocoa flavoured indulgence is the ultimate hit of chocolate.  Not a fancy cake or confection, just rich, deep chocolate.  And chocolate that echoes chocolate!

I dare you to make this and have a single bite without swooning.  You may be tempted to hide them for your own personal indulgent treat.  Or, if you're feeling generous, make them for a girls' night yak fest - but with mouths full of brownie, you may not get to the talking part!

Enough anticipation and denial...

And by the way, my sincere apologies because I'm about to make you an addict for which there will be no cure!

Here's what you'll need:

 

                              2/3 C butter ( I used salted)

                              1 1/4 C sugar

                              1 C dark unsweetened cocoa powder
                              1/2 C flour
                              1 C semisweet dark chocolate chips, divided
                              1 t vanilla
                              1/4 t salt
                              2 eggs
                              Oven 325 degrees

Place butter, sugar, cocoa and salt in a large bowl.

Microwave together at 30 second intervals on high. 

Two or 3 rounds ought to do it depending on your oven.  

Mix after each 30 seconds.  

It will look shiny and grainy like this.

Add one egg and half the flour.  Mix well.

Add remaining egg and flour.  Mix well.

Add the vanilla and stir through.  

Look at those beautiful specks found only in real vanilla!

Fold in 3/4 C of the chips.  Keep 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top.

It should look thick and shiny like this.

Spray an 8" x 8" square pan with non-stick spray.  

Pour batter in. 

Spread to corners of pan with a spatula and level off.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 C of chocolate chips.

Now bake for 25 minutes.

Check centre with a toothpick at 25 minutes. 

Crumb-like specks should stick to it. 

If it looks wet, put in for a few more minutes. 

Do not over bake.  It's better to under bake.  

Cooking time should be no more than 30 minutes.

Fresh out of the oven...

Melted chocolate gooeyness on top!

Try to let it cool - if you can!

And here's what you get!

Fudgey...
Chocolatey...

To die for...

Best. Brownie.  Recipe.  EVER!
