Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Whether you like brownies with a scoop of ice cream, a glass of milk, or just solo, you’re going to love this scratch recipe.
What ingredients do I need to make brownies from scratch?
- unsalted butter
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sugar
- large eggs
- vanilla extract
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- all-purpose flour
- baking powder
- Maldon Sea Salt Flakes (you can use regular table salt)
How should I store brownies? How long do they last?
Store your extras, if you have any, in an airtight container up to 4 days. Refrigerating it will cause it to dry out, becoming a crumbly mess.
Let’s be real, though, they taste the best within 1-2 days. Are there any left after that?

- Wet Mixture Ingredients:
1 cup 1 unsalted butter
½ cup ½ semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups 2 sugar
4 large 4 eggs
1 teaspoon 1 vanilla extract
- Dry Mixture Ingredients:
¾ cup ¾ unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup 1 all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ½ baking powder
½ teaspoon ½ Maldon Sea Salt Flakes (you can use regular table salt)
¼ cup ¼ semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Grease 9” baking pan
- In a pot melt the cup of unsalted butter over medium heat
- Once melted remove from heat; add the ½ cup chocolate chips and sugar
- Once chocolate is completely melted add 1 egg at a time and mix completely
- Add vanilla extract and mix completely
- Now it’s time to start mixing in the dry ingredients. When mixing you don’t want to use a mixer or “over mix” the ingredients. You just want to completely mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Add in the cocoa, flour, salt, baking soda and stir until completely mixed
- Add in ¼ cup chocolate chips and mix
- Pour into the greased baking dish
- Bake for 35 minutes, these are fudge brownies, and the centers will still be “sticky” – don’t over bake them.
- Let completely cool before cutting.

Confused?? Baking soda or powder? The ingredient list states powder, but the recipe calls for baking soda! Thanks for another great recipe!
