Tips that will perfect this brownie recipe !
- When you melt your butter in a microwave or on the stove make sure not to heat it up too much as it could cook the ingredients in your bowl when you add it into the mixture
- Use parchment paper instead of oil or butter to grease your baking tray as i have done this many times and it keeps sicking to the baking tray ?
- THE MORE YOU BAKE YOUR BATTER THE LESS FUDGY IT WILL BECOME and that is not what we are trying to achieve.

How to know when your gooey chocolate brownies are done ?
This is the tricky part, It is the make or break of this recipe so it is imperative we bake these fudgy brownies for the correct amount of time. But don’t worry here is a step by step guide to guarantee a perfect moist brownie recipe every time !
- Put a timer on for 30 minutes.
- Once the scent of chocolate starts to overwhelm the kitchen check your brownies. Even if this is at the 25 minute mark.
- Use a toothpick or kebab stick, poke it into the center of the batter, and pull it out. If the brownies need more time then the tooth pic or kebab stick will have wet chocolate batter on it.
- Moist crumbs on the toothpick equals perfect chocolate brownies.
Here’s what makes these brownies fudgy
The high amount of fat (in the form of butter and chocolate) with the combination of less flour than other gooey brownie recipes allows the brownies to keep its fudgy appearance and taste. The way in which you combine the ingredients also highly effects the outcome of your chocolate chip brownies!
The best way to combine you ingredients are to:
- First melt your butter.
- Add in your sugar, vanilla and eggs and mix it up well.
- Then add in the rest of your ingredients.
If you have done these 3 steps correctly then you should be on your way to a successful hot fudge brownie recipe !

Hi there
The recipe mentions baking powder, however the baking powder is not listed with the other Ingredients?
1 teaspoon of baking powder is needed.
Chocolaty, gooey sweetness! Easy and quick to make, a specially when you have a chocolate craving. Will make this again and again and again…. (didn’t have the measurement for baking powder – used 1 tsp).
1 teaspoon is correct.
