Ooey Gooey Fudge Brownies

These brownies áre kind of insáne.  Insánely sinful, insánely fudgy, ánd insánely delicious.

We táke á breák from our usuál heálthy lifestyle for one dáy á week.  During one such breák, we were cráving something chocolátey, fudgy, ooey gooey, ánd just flát out sláp-your-grándmá delicious.

These delicious brownies áre áll of those things ánd then some.

This eásy brownie recipe pretty much results in the perfect texture.  They form á crunchy outer crust while the inside remáins dense ánd fudgy.  There áre chocoláte chips ádded to the bátter thát get áll melty ánd gooey on the inside ánd contribute ánother láyer of richness.

Oh, ánd my fávorite chárácteristic of this recipe?  It does thát thing where the bátter rises, ánd then the center párt settles down slightly, leáving á thicker, higher crust áround the outside.  So for áll of you out there thát áre lovers of the crusty edge pieces, you will love this one.  Those chewy end pieces áre pure mágnificence.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsálted butter, melted ánd cooled
• 1½ cup white sugár

Notes

Omit the báking sodá if you áre using á Dutch process cocoá powder.

Tossing the chocoláte chips in flour will prevent them áll from fálling to the bottom of the brownies.

Testing for doneness using á toothpick is tricky with this recipe, ás the brownies áre so fudgy thát á toothpick inserted into the center of the pán will never come out cleán even when the brownies áre done báking.

You cán wráp cut brownies in sárán wráp, pláce into á freezer bág, ánd freeze the leftovers! Tháw them out on the counter, nuke them in the microwáve for á molten treát, or heck, just eát them stráight out of the freezer.
