Indulge in a decadent treat with our Chocolate Brownie recipe! This rich and gooey brownie is infused with dark chocolate and the delightful hint of beloved caramel Fantales. Perfect for any chocolate lover, these brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your friends and family.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until both ingredients are fully melted and combined. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler for this step.
3. Mix in Brown Sugar:
Add the brown sugar to the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture has a smooth consistency.
4. Incorporate Eggs:
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition, ensuring the mixture is smooth and glossy.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour. Gradually add this flour mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
6. Bake:
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. For fudgier brownies, bake for the shorter time frame; for cakier brownies, bake a bit longer.
7. Cool and Serve:
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, cut into squares and enjoy.
8. Optional Additions:
For an extra touch, consider folding in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter before baking or drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled brownies.

And there you have it! A batch of irresistible Chocolate Brownies! Enjoy them warm and gooey for the ultimate dessert experience. These brownies are perfect for any occasion and are sure to become a favorite in your baking repertoire.

Chocolate brownie FAQ:

What is the best baking time for chocolate brownies?

Bake the brownies at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. For fudgier brownies, aim for the shorter time; for a cakier texture, bake a bit longer.

How can I tell when my brownies are done?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies; they are done when it comes out with a few moist crumbs. If it comes out clean, the brownies may be overbaked.

Can I substitute dark chocolate in the recipe?

Yes, you can substitute semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for dark chocolate. Adjust sweetness as needed since the darkness of chocolate affects the overall flavor.

How should I store leftover brownies?

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Can I use only all-purpose flour instead of a mix?

Yes, you can use only all-purpose flour instead of the combination of all-purpose and self-raising flour. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder to mimic the self-raising flour effect.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter and dark chocolate are melted together gently to avoid scorching. You can do this using a double boiler or microwaving in short bursts.

- Allow the melted butter and chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs to prevent them from scrambling.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a more intense and smooth chocolate flavor.

- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.

- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing to achieve clean and neat pieces.
