How to Make Chocolate Fudge Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and place rack in the middle of the oven.
- Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate (or 14 ounces semisweet chocolate, reducing sugar by 2 tablespoons) together. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly until lukewarm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar (reduce to 1 3/4 cups if using semisweet chocolate), 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, and 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gradually add 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 squares.
