Note from Sabrina

If I am in a time crunch and need to make these a little quicker, instead of making these brownies from scratch, I use a boxed brownie mix. To make brownies fudgy, just like if you’ve made fudgy homemade brownies, try exchanging the oil in the box mix with melted butter, and the water for milk.

About this Recipe

Brownie lovers are sure to go crazy for these fudgier brownies. Each bite is pure melty, chocolatey bliss. The key to getting the perfect chewy texture in these brownies is by using more butter and adding milk. If you want a regular Chocolate Brownie Recipe that is more cakey, you should use less oil. By adding in extra melted butter and some milk, you get baked brownies with gooey and fudgy middles. Plus, the simple ingredients in this Fudgy Brownie recipe are easy to add to. You can experiment with adding any of your favorite dessert mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips to add some extra texture to the basic chocolate brownies.

How to Store

  • Serve: If you have leftover brownies, cover them in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to keep them at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Store: You can also cover the fudgy brownie recipe or put it in an airtight container to store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze: Let the brownie recipe cool after baking, then freeze them in an airtight container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Variations

  • Chocolate Chips: For an extra chocolate element in the simple brownies, add in a cup of chocolate chips. You can use white or milk chocolate chunks, or for darker chocolate mix in semisweet or dark chocolate chips.
  • Wheat Flour: If you want to add some healthier ingredients to this fudgy brownie recipe, you can use wheat flour. To make sure they still have a deliciously chewy texture, use half wheat flour and half white flour.
  • More Mix-ins: There are plenty of other mix-ins you can try in this recipe like peanut butter chips, walnuts, Oreo chunks, or pretzel pieces. Any of your favorite dessert mix-ins could make a fun addition to these Fudge Brownies.
