Easy Fudgy Brownies
I’m very particular about brownies. I don’t like chocolate cake at all, so if a brownie even remotely resembles the texture of cake, I won’t eat it. I want dense, chewy, fudgy brownies. And this recipe provided exactly what I was looking for. I’ve made homemade brownies before, but this time I was looking for a recipe with a little more texture, something that would be perfect to serve with ice cream to a group of friends that came over for dinner. I made these a day in advance, and when I served them the following evening, they were still soft and delicious. I’ll definitely be making these again. I’m not saying I won’t experiment with new recipes (can anyone really have too many brownie recipes?), but for now, this is my favorite. Mike loved them as well, and I had to freeze the leftovers to keep us from finishing them off in a very short span of time. (p.s. they’re great frozen too!)
Easy Fudgy Brownies
Ingredients:
1 12-ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and chocolate chips in the microwave. In the same bowl, blend in the sugar and vanilla. Then add eggs, blending fully one at a time. Add flour and salt and beat until air bubbles form in the batter. Pour into a greased 9 X 13-inch pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn heat down to 325 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes or until brownies are done.

A one bowl wonder! Fantastic!
Yum – these brownies look and sound fantastic. I love that you can freeze them too.
You're absolutely right, Megan. Nobody can have too many brownie recipes!
I love mine fudgey and dense too. Never have made mine with chips. Will try this next time.
Sounds so good! I am so with you- I do not really like cake, so these brownies sound perfect for me. Hope you have a nice Monday
I'm very particular about my brownies, too — and I always have to have the center cut brownie. The brownies' texture in your photo looks perfect.
I think we have the same tastes, brownie-wise. I don't want no stinkin' cakey brownie! Yours look wonderful. 🙂
I've always had bad luck with fudgey brownie mixes (too raw) so this looks like a great recipe! My husband LOVES brownies and his b-day is a month away…perfect!
I love brownies, and these look great!
Oh! These brownies look so yummie…my husband would love them 🙂

I love fudgy brownies… I will have to give these a try. I can't resist new brownie recipes!
These look SUPER yummy! I have been craving brownies lately!
I agree- Cakey brownies are just wrong. If that's what I wanted, I would have made a cake in the first place! These look perfect, nice and fudgy all right. 🙂
In my book, it's not a good brownie unless it's fudgy. These look deliciously thick!
I came back to tell you that I've nominated you for the beautiful blogger award. Come see. 🙂

just found your blog!! love it 🙂
LOVE your Blog!! Just found it yesterday and I am hooked! I will be making these brownies this weekend as a big storm will be keeping us inside 🙂
Thank you!
shellrd – Thanks for your kind comment 🙂 I hope you like these as much as we did!
I know this is much later (2011), but these are my favorite brownies yet!!! Now I did use 2 eggs instead of four and they weren't large, and baked them on a cookie sheet (I didn't have four eggs, and didn't have a glass bake dish), but at any rate, they turned out great. Like you., I HATE mushy cakey brownies. These are totally chewy and yummy!!!
Anonymous – I'm so glad you like these, thanks for the comment! I just made them a few weeks ago and was reminded just how good they are. Perfectly chewy 🙂
