The Best Fudge Brownies Ever
1 cup Butter
2 1/2 cups Sugar
1 1/4 cups Cocoa (Yes! That’s a lot of cocoa!)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 T Vanilla Extract
4 large Eggs
1 1/4 cups Flour
2 cups Chocolate Chips
***Optional: mix in 1 drop Edible Peppermint Essential Oil to the batter as the last step.
***(I use oils EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. Learn more about why I need them here.)***
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9×13″ pan.
In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just till it’s hot, but not bubbling; it’ll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating the butter and sugar a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Add the eggs, beating till smooth; then add the flour and chips, beating till well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the brownies for 28-30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and after 5 minutes loosen the edges with a table knife; this helps prevent the brownies from sinking in the center as they cool. Cool completely before cutting and serving. Yield: 2 dozen fudge brownies.

Oops – I forgot the slash between the 1 and 4. It's all fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.
Good grief. I so do not need these in my life, but I'm gonna make them anyway…
I freaking LOVE brownies! So I must try this recipe some time. I'm adding it to my list. 🙂 by the way my cook book you got me rocks. I've made a couple of things already and everything has been delicious. 🙂
Mmmm…I'm a sucker for a good fudgy brownie, so I'll definitely have to try this recipe!
My family kids me about the fact I can't make a good brownie. They are right, and I don't know what it is, but they just don't turn out right. I will have to try this recipe and let you know how they turn out for me. thanks for sharing!
These look so yummy! Thanks for linking up to Sister Sister, have a great Easter!
These DO look super yummy! Wow, there's a lot of cocao in there!
And chocolate & cream….what a fabulous combination, i agree. 🙂
These do sound yummy and I will look for the King Arthur flour. But is it really 1 and 1/4 cups cocoa? That seems like a lot!?
@ Jo: Yep, it's 1 and 1/4. I thought it was a lot too and had to double check. It's a very very very deep chocolately experience! And, to add to that, it calls for chocolate chips just before baking. They're crazy good!
This is the best brownie recipe ever. Thank you!
Wow – love brownies. I'm going to have to try this – thanks for the recipe!
