My fiance is not a big cake or cupcake eater but he does love baked treats that are made with chocolate. One way I can satisfy his sweet tooth is by making up a quick batch of chocolate fudge brownies. If you like chopped nuts, you can toss in a 1/4 cup of your favorites but I complete omit them as we like our brownies gooey and without them.
You can serve them room temperature but we like ours reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (served warm) and sometimes we drizzle warm caramel sauce over the top or add a big spoonful of vanilla ice cream on top of them.
Chocolate Fudge Brownies Recipe
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup granulated sugar
2 medium eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions: In a large saucepan over very low heat, melt the butter and the chocolate squares, stirring constantly until both ingredients are smooth and no longer lumpy. Remove from heat to allow it to cool for a few minutes.
After 5 minutes has passed and the chocolate has cooled, stirred in the granulated sugar. Gently stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until all ingredients are blended together. Stir in the all purpose flour until well combined.
Lightly spray a glass 8″ by 8″ baking pan with nonstick spray or grease it lightly with butter. Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until center is done.
Remove from oven, let cool and cut into squares.

So I saved it in Yumprint, printed it to a PDF file and pinned it to Pinterest. I think I have it saved. These look really good and I’ll have to surprise my fiance with them sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Wow–these sound like really rich, chocolatey brownies. Even richer if large eggs are used, I imagine. Love the recipes here at TCC! Thanks.

I am a big cake and cupcake eater! I love this awesome brownie recipe and I am going to make these. They look moist and not too hard to make. Yummy, and thanks for the recipe.
This is an easy recipe and my husband and I both love chocolate. Since he is a diabetic I would have to use a sugar substitute or unsweetened applesauce, but maybe I’ll make a batch just for me! I don’t keep medium eggs, so I wil have to see how muchto substitute with large or extra large eggs.
Great simple recipe. I keep unsweetened chocolate on hand so this recipe is perfect.
My husband would love thesee he is a chocolate fanataic. Mybe just maybe if he is nice I will make him some 🙂
