This recipe for Ultimate Fudge Brownies comes from the book, Even Better Brownies by Mike Johnson. I love this book!! It’s a guide for the best ever recipes for brownies and bars.

How to make Ultimate Fudge Brownies:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post. Add chopped dark chocolate, espresso powder and cocoa powder to a bowl. Heat butter, and then pour the butter into the bowl. Let it sit to melt the chocolate, and then stir it all together until nice and smooth. Using a mixer, combine white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs. Mix for a full 10 minutes. Mix in the slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Sift in the flour and additional cocoa powder, and stir to combine. That’s the ultimate fudge brownies batter!
Scrape the batter into a parchment-lined (nonstick sprayed) square pan. Smooth the top to make it even.
Alternative baking instructions!
There are some key instructions here that will help make these brownies turn out perfectly fudgy. Bake for 20 minutes at 350. Then take the pan out of the oven and slam it on a flat surface a couple of times. This deflates the brownie slightly, giving them a more even texture and encourages that beautiful crackly top. Then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
The brownies will continue to cook and set as they cool. You can spot that crackly top and the super fudgy texture inside.
Every bite of these ultimate fudge brownies is amazing. This is a new brownie recipe to me, and I can honestly say that I think I have a new favorite!
