CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIES

ads For my chocolate-loving friends, these Chocolate Fudge Brownies are for you.  They’re totally chocolatey, they’re packed with chocolate chips, and they’re topped with a thick chocolate glaze!

This recipe comes from the Joy the Baker cookbook.  It’s a pretty great baking cookbook indeed.  If you scroll down the post a bit, you’ll find my review of the cookbook and a little more information about it.

Joy tops these brownies with a Chocolate Buttercream Frosting in her book.  Her frosting has Ovaltine Powder in it, which is pretty much brilliant.  If I had Ovaltine Powder in my house… it would be a very dangerous thing indeed.  I was truly obsessed with Ovaltine Powder and its magical qualities of transforming milk into something wonderful when I was a pre-teen.  I.used.to.eat.it.obsessively.by.the.spoonful! #confession

I can’t even imagine what these beautiful brownies would taste like with Ovaltine.  I think they’d be SO DELICIOUS!

There is absolutely nothing better than a perfect, chocolatey, fudgy brownie.  Don’t you agree?  This is that sort of brownie recipe.

INGREDIENTS
BROWNIES:

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

GLAZE:

• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 to 5 teaspoons hot water (or more, as needed)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, then line it with a strip of parchment paper (edges hanging over), and spray the parchment with nonstick spray too.

PREPARE THE BROWNIES:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter and chocolate until butter is melted (about 75 seconds). Whisk the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate is melted and smooth (heat a few more seconds, if needed). Alternately, you may melt the butter and chocolate together in a pan set on top of a pot of simmering water. Remove from heat. Whisk the sugars into the mixture. Then whisk in the eggs, yolk and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture until well incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
2. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center of the brownie comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely before adding the glaze.
