Fudgy brownie treats recipe

Fudgy brownies are a delightful treat for chocolate lovers. Here’s a simple recipe to make delicious fudgy brownies at home:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
Add the Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder into the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Optional Add-Ins:
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or chunks and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to be fudgy.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
- Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares and serve. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for decoration.

For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them. They will continue to set as they cool.
Feel free to customize your brownies by adding your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or even a swirl of peanut butter or caramel sauce.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Enjoy these fudgy brownies as a delicious treat for dessert, snacks, or any time you’re craving something chocolaty and indulgent!
