- Brownies are good, the end.
I'm gonna show you how to make delicious,
best brownies ever, they're super fudgy, it's so good.
This recipe has two different types of chocolate in it.
We've got chocolate chips and cocoa powder,
which makes it extra, extra chocolaty.
I'm just gonna mix our dry ingredients.
We've got flour, not a ton
because we want these guys fudgy, not cakey.
We've got unsweetened cocoa powder.
We have our salt.
And, I'm gonna give that a quick whisk.
Looks good.
So, in order to incorporate the chocolate into our brownie,
we're going to melt the chocolate chips
over a double boiler.
We need a bowl that is not too small
or it'll touch the water below it.
We don't any water touching the bowl
because then it becomes a direct heat
instead of an indirect heat.
And, indirect is what we're looking for.
And, we're adding two sticks of butter.
And, chocolate chips.
We're using semi-sweet chocolate chips here,
but you can use whatever kind of chocolate you like.
I'm a huge fan of dark chocolate,
so sometimes I like to chop up a bar
of like 75% chocolate, and throw it in here instead.
It's totally up to you.
Milk chocolate works great too.
So, once this is completely melted,
both the butter and the chocolate,
it'll be good to take off the heat.
Look at that, it's already starting to melt.
Takes no time.
And, I'm just gonna dry off the bottom of the bowl
because enemy number one of melted chocolate is water.
And then, because I melted this in a sorta small bowl,
I'm gonna transfer it to a bigger one.
And, to this bowl we're gonna add our sugars.
Plain white granulated sugar.
And, a bit of brown sugar as well.
Now we're just mixing her up.
(chill music)
Next step is adding our eggs.
There are five, which is kind of a lot
for a brownie recipe but since we're going for fudgy,
it's cool to have a little bit more of a wetter batter.
Egg number one.
Since this batter has no chemical leavener in it,
that's no baking soda or baking powder,
we are using the eggs as a leavener
to integrate a little bit of air in,
so the brownie has at least a little bit of lift.
And, four.
(whirring)
So, all the eggs are integrated.
Now, all that's left is some vanilla, two teaspoons worth.
Grabbing a spatula so we can fold in our dry ingredients.
Is this one too big?
I think it might be too big.
I'll use this one.
Wet ingredients looking good, smelling good.
Now, I'm gonna add about, well I'll just add all of it.
There's not too much dry.
And, give it a fold.
On a square pizza pie I like the corner piece.
On a brownie I like a side piece.
But, camerawoman Chelsea likes a corner piece.
And, will protect the corner pieces at all cost.
Last, but now least, if you're a chocolate freak like me,
you might wanna add more chocolate chips.
I highly encourage this.
So, we have a 9 by 13 pan.
We've got it parchment lined, important.
And, we're ready to pour our batter in.
(jazzy music)
We've got our oven preheated to 350,
and ready to pop these guys in.
These'll be in here for like 30 to 35 minutes.
Just check with a toothpick in the center,
and if it comes out clean then it's done.
These are pretty fudgy so there might be a couple crumbs,
but mostly clean.
Ready? - [Woman] Um hm.
We're ready.
I'm taking her out.
And, it smells so good.
So, I've got a little toothpick here.
I'm just gonna give it a little poke.
We're clean, we're good.
Now, all we have to do is let it cool for a few minutes.
And, then I'll slide this out and cut it into squares.
(jazzy music)
So, that is how you make the best,
most fudgy brownies of all time.
They've got that beautiful like papery top.
And then, just super fudgy on the inside.
And, of course, extra chocolate because why not.
Can I eat it now?
- [Woman] Yes.
- Yes.
Mm, bliss.
So good.
