Description
These Salted Fudge Brownies feature just 8 ingredients and are made in one pan. Intense chocolate flavor and perfect balance of sweet and salty. If you love super chewy and fudge-like brownies with crisp edges, this recipe is for you!
Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 stick unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon + 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (keep divided)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray or line with foil draping over the edges and spray with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until melted and combined. Remove from heat and add cocoa, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the batter into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Use a butter knife to swirl the salt into the batter and if you’d like, grind a little extra on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until edge is set but center is still soft. Cool in the pan at room temperature for an hour and then remove from pan. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- These brownies are super fudgy. It’s important to let them cool completely before cutting.
- Less is more! I like to cut these into small squares because they’re so rich and decadent.
- People have had success with scaling this recipe back by thirds to make smaller batches.
- You can store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
- Brownies freeze well for several months wrapped tightly.
