Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter Melted
  • 4 oz Semi-sweet chocolate Chips or chopped bar
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar For a shiny, crackly top
  • 2 large Eggs For structure and fudgy chew
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract To round out the flavors
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour Just enough to hold the brownie together
  • ¼ cup Cocoa powder For extra chocolate punch
  • 1 tsp Espresso powder For mocha flavor
  • ¼ tsp Salt Enhances chocolate flavor
Optional Ingredients
  • ½ cup Chocolate chunks To sprinkle on top
  • ½ cup Toasted walnuts For added crunch
  • ¼ cup Mini chocolate chips Sprinkled on top before baking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth in the microwave or on the stove on low heat. Stir until glossy.
  3. Stir in the espresso powder while the mixture is warm, then add the sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add chocolate chunks if desired.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 22 to 28 minutes, starting to check at 22 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center should not jiggle much.
  2. Let the brownies cool in the pan before lifting them out and slicing.

Notes

To keep brownies fudgy, do not overbake. Once baked, let them cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
