Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Turn a 9 x 13-inch baking pan upside down.
- Mold a piece of foil, shiny side down, over the bottom of the pan.
- Turn the pan over and place the foil in the pan.
- Place one tablespoon of butter in the pan and put it in the oven to melt.
- Spread the melted butter over the foil after it has melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider using high-quality dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder. You can also reduce the sugar slightly if you prefer less sweetness. Ensure that the butter is fully melted and well-distributed on the foil to prevent sticking. If you want a nutty texture, adding chopped walnuts or pecans can elevate these brownies. For a unique twist, try pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
These fudgy brownies are perfect on their own or served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also pair beautifully with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt. For a delightful snack, serve with a cup of coffee or tea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cocoa powder?
Yes, you can use natural cocoa powder, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture. Dutch process cocoa provides a richer taste and darker color, which is ideal for these brownies. If using natural cocoa, you might want to adjust the baking soda or add a bit of acidity to balance the flavors.
How can I tell when the brownies are done?
The brownies are done when the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remember, they will continue to cook a bit while cooling, so it's better to underbake slightly for that fudgy texture.
Can I make these brownies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make these brownies a day or two in advance. Just be sure to store them properly once cooled. They often taste even better the next day as the flavors meld. If you want to serve them warm, simply reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
