The Best Fudgy Brownie Recipe is absolutely perfect, soft and moist, almost cake-like, but not quite. Chocolatey goodness in the batter AND with added chips.
Welcome back!
It’s 2015 and a brand new year of fun and delicious Secret Recipe Club recipes. This is our first one of the New Year for Group A, and I’m excited to jump back in.
And I jumped right back in with these deliciously, fudgy perfect brownies!
This month, the blog I had was Oreo’s and Cool Whip: Things I Make (For Dinner).
In case you’ve never been to her blog, you totally need to go check out her About Page and learn why she chose her Oreo’s and Cool Whip name. I totally get it, and would have let the flame wars begin in much the same way. <wink>
As is completely usual every month, I agonize and make lists of all the possible recipes I could make. On our list this month were: Cheesy Bacon-Onion Pinwheels, Buffalo Chicken Lasagna, Margarita Donuts or Lemon-Scented Pull Apart Coffee Cake.
We finally decided to go with her Fudgy Brownies because they just sounded so good and she got them from Everyday Food from 2005 and I knew they had to be good.
Plus, 2005 was a good year for me, and I thought it was significant. \
I made the most minor tweak in the world, by simply adding a cup of chocolate chips, because I had just that much I really needed to use in a recipe before they needed to be tossed.
So I added them to this, and I’m seriously NOT sorry I did.
These were incredible. Rich, chocolaty flavor with that lovely fudgy texture. Moist, soft and utterly addicting. I loved the crunch from the nuts, and the sweet bites of melted chocolate inside.
This is an exceptional recipe and will be made again and again!

Oooh I think the chocolate chips were a very good idea. I love trying out brownie recipes and can’t wait to try this one out.

Oooh, brownies! Always a great choice 😀 I made brownies the night before last and covered them with raspberry jam, then chocolate frosting. Isn’t it awesome how many brownie variations there are?
You had me at fudgy – ha! Your pictures capture these so well, and the look absolutely amazing – flagging these to make! Great SRC pick!
Oh. My. Goodness. You added chocolate chips? I haven’t made these in ages, but I remember them being some of the most chocolatey brownies I’d ever eaten…and that was without. Not that I’d be opposed to trying them. Glad you enjoyed poking around the blog!!
These look SO fudgy and delicious! Totally love them. 🙂
