Thick and Fudgy Homemade Brownies Recipe

These Fudgy Brownies are the best homemade brownie recipe. They are so thick and rich, and definitely feed a crowd. The best part is the frosting that you pour on top, when the brownies are still hot, and they sink in to the rich brownie base. You will love these.

Our grandma passed away when our mom was a teenager. We never met her, but we know we would have gotten along perfectly.

Our beautiful grandmother was known for these amazing, fudgy brownies. She must have passed on her love for chocolate to all of us.

My mom has continued to make them over the years, and they are my favorite dessert to come home to. The best was walking in from school after a long day, and smelling these bad boys baking.

You knew your day was going to go from bad to good, just with a bite of these delicious Fudgy Brownies. They are so dense and almost cake-like. They are definitely our favorite brownies.

The frosting isn’t thick, but they don’t need a lot. The brownies are really moist, and the frosting is put on while the brownies are hot, so they sink into the chocolaty fudgy brownie nicely.

This is an old trick I learned from my mother, years ago. It’s the good old toothpick trick and I still use it today.

The time and temperature on this recipe should be spot on, but if you want to double check to make sure your brownies are done, here is what to do:

Insert a wooden toothpick into the center of the brownies.
If the toothpick comes out clean (without any brownie batter on it), the brownies are done.
If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, they may need just a few more minutes.

The thing I love about this recipe are the little crunchy surprises. They add just the perfect amount of texture, and taste amazing. If you are looking for a quick and simple dessert recipe, this is the one for you.

If you don’t like nuts, or don’t have any on hand, here are a few other sweet morsels we recommend adding to your brownies:

• Mіlk Chocolate Chірѕ
• Dаrk Chосоlаtе Chірѕ
• Caramel Bіtѕ
• Pеаnut Buttеr Chірѕ
• Buttеrѕсоtсh Chірѕ
• Rееѕе’ѕ Pеаnut Butter Cuрѕ (сhорреd uр)
• Snісkеrѕ Cаndу Bаr (сhорреd uр)
• M & M Cаndіеѕ
• Orео Cооkіе Pіесеѕ
• Mіnі Marshmallows
• Whіtе Chосоlаtе Chірѕ

 

This recipe is so fun to add your own twist to. Whether it’s a different type of chip or morsel, or your favorite candy, everyone is going to love them.

They are also delicious as is. You really don’t even need to add any sweet morsel. They are delicious just as they are. The chocolate frosting is really all you need on these.
