Easy Fudge Brownie Bars Recipe

These brownie bars are made with a combination of melted chocolate, butter, and sugar, resulting in a moist and fudgy treat. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding approximately 16 bars.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
1/2 cup chopped nuts optional

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add Mix-ins: If desired, fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts for added texture.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Cut: Allow the brownie bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
