Delicious Fudgy Brownie Recipe
Brownies, need I say more I mean who doesn’t love brownies especially when it’s this easy to make! These are rich, chocolatey, absolutely delicious brownies and super simple to whip up. They only take about an hour to make and use everyday ingredients.
I make mine with 45 – 55% chocolate and 100% cocoa powder for a very rich chocolate flavour, but you could use 20 – 35% (milk chocolate) if you prefer a less intense more milk chocolate-like flavour. The addition of coffee and sea salt really takes these brownies to the next level.
I love the crackly, shiny tops on these brownies as a result of melting the butter and chocolate together and dissolving the sugar directly into the mixture. Though I’ve found how shiny they are will depend on the weather, the hotter is it the more shine you’ll get and the cooler it is the less shiny and crackly.
