These gooey chocolate fudge brownies are so delicious. They are extremely chocolaty, rich and pair perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Whenever I need to make a dessert for a get-together I often turn to this brownie recipe. Every time I make them they are always gone quickly! To me that is always the sign of a good dessert recipe.
I love to bake and it was the first thing I got good at in the kitchen. Mostly because I loved eating desserts so much more than my actual meal. I have so many great memories of baking with my grandma making cakes, pies, cookies and of course brownies! I hope you and your family become as obsessed with these homemade fudge brownies as my family and I are.

Tips and Tricks
Prep Tip
The first tip to the perfect chocolate fudge brownie is to whisk the butter and sugars together. This is probably the most important step of all. When I first started baking chocolate brownies with my grandma I always wanted to just rush through the steps to get to the finished product faster.
This resulted in some very mediocre desserts. After getting a little older and learning some patience I realized how important taking your time and not skipping steps while baking is. When I whisk the sugar and butter I like to do this for AT LEAST two minutes. Ideally, I whisk them for more around four minutes. While this may seem annoying and a step you want to skip or shorten, don't! Anytime I am in a rush and skip on this step the gooey chocolate brownies go flat, blah.
Batter Tip
Second, fold in the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Again, this is a step I NEVER did when I was younger. I would just toss in the dry ingredients with the wet ones and mix them together. This resulted in the brownie batter being over-worked and fluffy, cake-like brownies. Those are fine, but we are here for the fudgey chocolate ones!
I like to use a large spoon to gently stir in the dry ingredients (including the chocolate chips) with the wet ones. I mean combine just until mixed or there is going to be too much air in the brownie batter, and air means fluffier cake brownies. Personally, I like to do the dry ingredients and chocolate chips at the same time, because if I do the chocolate chips after then I tend to over-mix the batter.
Baking Tip
The third little nugget of information is to not over-bake the gooey chocolate brownies. It is better to under-bake these, so I always set my timer a couple of minutes less than I think I will need to avoid burnage. If you are using the tooth-pick trick you want it to come out dirty. It won't be runny like the batter, but also not clean. It will be that middle ground.
If you over-cook these they are going to be really dense and an unpleasant texture. That is it! Pretty simple right?! Nothing too crazy, you just need to take your time on the brownie batter, not toss everything in at once and set your timer for a little less time.
How to Make Chocolate Topping
This chocolate combination is everything my soul loves. Dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet and white chocolate all combined in a gooey brownie. If you are not a chocolate fan then I would skip the topping (lame).
I chose to do two different types of chocolate, semi-sweet and white chocolate. I like to use these because they make the perfect chocolate duo, and swirl well together.
Chocolate Swirl Topping for Brownies
- When melting the chocolate I do so in the microwave. I do one chocolate at a time in a small bowl. Start with about 20 seconds, stop to stir the chocolate, and then add an additional 10 seconds at a time until the chocolate is warm and completely melted.
- I like to do this after the brownies are out of the oven and cooling. That way the chocolate wont re-harden.
- Then I like to drizzle both chocolates on at once.
- Finally, I use the back of a small spoon the gently swirl them together. This results in a very pretty effect, and it is super tasty! Win-win! These brownies are seriously delicious and my family loves when I make them.
