<\/p>\n Perfect homemade brownies are fudgy, chewy, sweet, and pure chocolate heaven<\/strong>. They\u2019re an ideal treat for potlucks, weeknight cravings, or the random Tuesdays that need a little joy. Not only that, they\u2019re economical, pantry-friendly, and, let\u2019s face it\u2014way better than the box mix.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been baking brownies since I was tall enough to sneak chocolate chips out of the mixing bowl when no one was looking. There\u2019s something almost magical about watching butter and chocolate swirl together into shiny, melty bliss. That\u2019s<\/em> when you know you\u2019re onto something good.<\/p>\n What sets this brownie recipe apart is its simplicity and richness. No mystery ingredients, just pure chocolate love. Whether you want a bar to snack on throughout the week or crown a slab with ice cream and devour it in one sitting, this recipe gives you options.<\/p>\n Feeling a little extra? These brownies are perfect on their own, but they\u2019re also a blank canvas for whatever you\u2019re craving. Jazz them up for a party or just treat yourself (again) on a rough day; toss in one (or all) of these tasty additions before baking:<\/p>\n Mix and match to your heart\u2019s content. Brownies are one of those magical bakes that play well with just about anything. The only real risk is running out before you\u2019ve had your fair share.<\/p>\n Make these babies a day ahead and store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Store them in the fridge for up to a week for longer-lasting brownies.<\/p>\n You can also freeze them in layers separated by wax <\/strong>paper for 2-3 months. Just pop as many as you want out, thaw them overnight in the fridge, and warm to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.\u00a0Or pop them frozen into the microwave for a few seconds.<\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing quite like warm brownies paired with a cold glass of milk or a steaming cup of coffee (with a splash of homemade Bailey\u2019s, anyone?). This kind of comfort never goes out of style.<\/p>\n Want to turn this deliciousness into a full-blown dessert? Top those brownies with a scoop of ice cream and a generous swirl of your favorite sauce\u2014caramel, chocolate, or even peanut butter! \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n By Imma<\/p>\n This blog post was originally published in November 2018 and has been updated with additional tips and gorgeous photos<\/em><\/p>\n Prep: <\/span>10 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Cook: <\/span>30 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Total: <\/span>40 minutes<\/span><\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n American<\/span><\/p>\n Preheat oven to 350\u2109 (175\u2103). Line a 9″x13″ or an 8″\u00d78″ (for thicker brownies) baking pan with parchment paper. Then, grease with butter or non-stick baking spray and set the prepared pan aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Combine the chocolate chunks and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Then melt them in the microwave, stopping and stirring frequently every 20-30 seconds so they don’t scorch or burn. It usually takes about 2 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stir the chocolate continuously until it’s smooth, shiny, and completely melted. If the microwave isn’t your thing, melt it in a double boiler over medium heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue whisking until combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Stir the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Then, gently fold in the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder until thoroughly mixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pour the brownie batter into the greased or parchment-paper-lined baking pan and spread it out evenly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bake it until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (about 30 minutes).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Let it cool, slice, and serve it all on its own. Or add a glass of cold, refreshing milk and top it with whipped cream.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Serving: <\/span>1<\/span>slice<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Calories: <\/span>424<\/span>kcal<\/span> (21%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Carbohydrates: <\/span>55<\/span>g<\/span> (18%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Protein: <\/span>7<\/span>g<\/span> (14%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Fat: <\/span>22<\/span>g<\/span> (34%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Saturated Fat: <\/span>13<\/span>g<\/span> (81%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Polyunsaturated Fat: <\/span>1<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Monounsaturated Fat: <\/span>6<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Trans Fat: <\/span>1<\/span>g<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Cholesterol: <\/span>103<\/span>mg<\/span> (34%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Sodium: <\/span>113<\/span>mg<\/span> (5%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Potassium: <\/span>273<\/span>mg<\/span> (8%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Fiber: <\/span>5<\/span>g<\/span> (21%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Sugar: <\/span>33<\/span>g<\/span> (37%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Vitamin A: <\/span>567<\/span>IU<\/span> (11%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Calcium: <\/span>48<\/span>mg<\/span> (5%)<\/span><\/span>| <\/span>Iron: <\/span>3<\/span>mg<\/span> (17%)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Course: <\/span>Dessert<\/span><\/p>\n Cuisine: <\/span>American<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Perfect homemade brownies are fudgy, chewy, sweet, and pure chocolate heaven.
