Thick Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies

With 3 forms of chocolate – cocoa, dark chocolate and chocolate chips – these Thick, Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies are a chocolate lovers dream. If you’re looking for an easy homemade brownie recipe, these are for you.

Tips for making brownies

• Sift your your cocoa so there are no lumps in the finished brownies
• Use good quality chocolate – a dark (70%) chocolate is best. I like Lindt, Cadbury or Green and Blacks 70% best.
• Beat the eggs and sugar well – This is your chance to do everything you can to get a nice crispy top on your brownies – beating the eggs and sugar until fluffy creates an almost meringue texture for the top.
• Check your brownies at least 5 minutes before the recipe suggests – all ovens are different, so this is a really important step. See my How to Make Perfect Brownies to see what a done brownie looks like.
• Don’t overmix or they’ll be tough once baked and you may lose the air you’ve lovingly beaten into the eggs.
• Brownies are better underdone than overdone

Brownie filling ideas

• Milk chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate chips
• Nuts in place of all or half the chocolate chips (like in these Hazelnut Brownies)
• Add caramel like in these Chocolate Caramel Brownies
• Add chocolate candy like in these Ferrero Rocher Brownies
• Or add a topping like coconut, chewy caramel or marshmallow

Everyone needs an easy homemade brownie recipe in their life and if you really want to spoil your loved ones, these Thick, Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies are the ones you need.

With very little effort you’ll be rewarded with a batch of gorgeous brownies and the urge to grab a cuppa and a quiet corner. Enjoy ?

Notes

Equipment used: 8x8 inch square baking tin, handheld beater

1. For best results, you should always weigh ingredients like flour and sugar. Kitchen scales are relatively cheap but if you can’t weigh the ingredients, use the spoon and level method (don’t scoop).
2. Brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with a few sticky crumbs on it. They will carry-over bake in the tin.
   • Toothpick comes out with wet mix - not done
   • Toothpick comes out with sticky crumbs - DONE
   • Toothpick comes out with no mix or crumbs - overdone (save these for serving with ice cream - yum
