Decadent Fudgy Brownies
If your craving chocolate, these decadent fudgy brownies will cure that fix! These brownies have a fudgy center with chocolate chips and a layer of chocolate frosting on top.
Microwave for about 25 seconds at a time until the butter is melted.
*Let the melted chocolate and butter cool for about 10 minutes. (This is important before you add in the egg.)
Mix in the eggs to the cooled chocolate mixture.
Add the 1 tsp of vanilla.
Pour the brownie batter in the pan.
Add all the ingredients into one bowl. (powdered sugar, butter, salt, cocoa powder, and milk/cream.)
The brownies are so rich, a thin layer of frosting is all you need. However, if you like a lot of frosting on a brownie, you can double the frosting recipe.

Ingredients
Ingredients for Brownie-
- 1 stick (1/2 c.) unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate (chocolate chips or a chopped up chocolate bar) or 8 ozs.
- 1/4 c. dark/light brown sugar
- 3/4 c. white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp all purpose unbleached flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Ingredients for Chocolate Buttercream Frosting-
(This frosting makes a thin layer. If you want a thick layer of frosting, double the recipe.)
- 2 tbsp salted or unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 c. powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1–2 tbsp milk/cream
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (use the third rack in the oven to bake.) Line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper or greased aluminum foil.
- Melt 1 stick (1/2 c.) unsalted butter and 8 oz’s chocolate in a microwaveable container for 25 seconds at a time until the butter and chocolate is all melted. (Stir every 25 seconds so the mixture does not burn.) Let it cool for at least 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the melted chocolate and butter, and the white and brown sugars. Mix well. Then add the vanilla.
- Mix the 3 eggs in a separate bowl, then add the eggs to the large bowl of the brownie batter.
- In another bowl, add the cocoa powder, salt, and flour. (Sometimes the cocoa powder has lumps. You can use a sifter to put the cocoa through first.)
- Add the dry ingredients in with the wet brownie batter and mix well.
- Add the 3/4 c. chocolate chips.
- Pour batter in the prepared pan and bake for 36 minutes.
- While the brownies are baking, start by making the frosting. In a clean bowl, add the soft butter, powdered sugar, salt, milk/cream, unsweetened cocoa and vanilla.
- When the brownies are done baking, make sure they cool completely before putting on the frosting. (or the frosting will melt off.)
- ENJOY!
Notes
If you microwave the butter and chocolate too long without stirring, you may burn the chocolate. Only heat up 25 seconds at a time.
