Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and butter together.
- Allow the mixture to cool.
- Beat eggs and sugar until well combined.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture.
- Stir in flour and salt until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate. If you want a lighter brownie, consider substituting half of the butter with unsweetened applesauce. Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the flour, as this can lead to dense brownies. For an extra crunch, you can add nuts or use a different type of chocolate chips.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They also pair wonderfully with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of whipped cream. For a unique twist, try serving them alongside Mark'S Deviled Eggs as part of a fun, casual gathering or potluck.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave a brownie for about 10-15 seconds, or warm them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes to restore their fudgy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute the unsweetened chocolate with semi-sweet or dark chocolate, but adjust the sugar in the recipe accordingly since these types are sweeter. Melt the chocolate and butter together as directed, and enjoy a sweeter brownie with a different flavor profile.
How do I know when my brownies are done?
Brownies are done when the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. Remember, they will continue to cook a bit after removing from the oven, so avoid overbaking.
Can I add mix-ins to the brownie batter?
Absolutely! Feel free to fold in nuts, dried fruits, or even swirls of peanut butter for added flavor and texture. Just ensure you don't add too many extras, as it could affect the brownie structure. Enjoy experimenting with your favorite mix-ins!
