PRESENTATION

Chocolate cravings find instant relief with a batch of homemade brownies—their soft, fudgy texture always feels just right for family dessert nights or any gathering around the table. Deep chocolate brownie flavor comes through in every bite, while that gooey center and crispy edges combine for a truly classic treat that wins over kids and adults alike. The nice look (golden, slightly cracked tops plus that cozy, rich color) makes cutting into the pan pretty hard to resist...when everyone smells brownies, dessert expectations go way up! Since these treats deliver all the classic features of a quick dessert, families find them great for birthday parties, bake sales, surprise after-school snacks, or just simple after-dinner reward. You get a dish that tastes really good, looks homey, and brings DELICIOUS satisfaction anytime you want something special, using simple pantry ingredients most people already have at home (and yes, tossing in chocolate chips or some nuts makes them even more appealing).

Searching for that easy brownie recipe everyone requests again and again? These fudgy brownies are pretty much designed for busy families and weeknights—maximum chocolate impact with minimum effort. You get that rich, moist interior that kind of melts as you eat it, plus the fun of picking your favorite mix-ins or toppings (ice cream scoop on top is always a hit for movie night). For home cooks who want family favorite desserts that everyone actually eats, these brownies bring a crowd together. Flexibility matters for families—try all sorts of brownie variations from extra cocoa powder for a deeper flavor to a light sprinkle of sea salt when you want that salty-sweet kick. Serve at room temp, warm from the pan, with coffee, or tucked in a school lunch—works great all ways. Kids love the classic sweet taste, parents love the consistently reliable results, and friends look for that last corner piece every time. Brownies like this tend to disappear fast, so expect lots of requests for more when you share...families keep coming back to brownies for a reason—GREAT flavor, fun, and total comfort in every piece.

Method

To make brownies, start by finely chopping and melting the dark chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave, then pour it in a bowl 1. Melt the butter too, then add it to the melted chocolate 2. Stir vigorously with a spatula 3 and leave to cool.

To make brownies, begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate. Melt it using a bain-marie or in the microwave, and then transfer it to a bowl 1. Melt the butter and combine it with the melted chocolate 2. Mix well using a spatula 3 and set aside to cool.

In the meantime, toast the hazelnuts in a pan 4 and set them aside. In a separate, large bowl, combine the eggs and sugar 5. Add a pinch of salt and beat the mixture using an electric whisk until it's light in color and frothy 6.

After the egg mixture is prepared, gradually incorporate the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture 7, stirring continuously. Next, sift the flour 8 and cocoa powder into the bowl 9.

Combine the sifted powders into the wet ingredients, stirring until you achieve a glossy and consistent batter 10. Add in the toasted hazelnuts 11 and fold them in using a spatula 12.

Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper 13. Pour the brownie batter into the dish, ensuring a smooth surface 14. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes 15.

Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely 16. After they've cooled, cut them into squares 17. Your brownies are now ready to be savored 18!

Storage

Brownies can be stored for 3-4 days at room temperature. You can freeze them after baking.

Tip

After adding the melted chocolate, you can enhance the brownie batter's flavor with cinnamon, ginger, or tonka bean.

Consider replacing the hazelnuts with other toasted nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, or peanuts!

For a deeper chocolate intensity, opt for a dark chocolate that's 65-70% cocoa.

You might also try substituting up to 50% of the butter with coconut oil for a richer, fruitier flavor!
