Super Fudge Brownie

Super Fudge Brownie with Mocha Buttercream

S’Mores Nutella Brownie

This has been my favorite brownie recipe for years and was inspired by Ina Garten’s brownie recipe. It has a pound of butter and over 3 cups of chocolate and the texture is fudgey and rich with chocolate.  I like to use Ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips and I add a few ounces of unsweetened chocolate for a deeper flavor.  I think one of the tricks to make fudgey brownies is not to whisk the eggs and sugar very much.  Over beating them can give the brownies more of a cake-like texture which I don’t really like.  She bakes hers in a 13×17-inch sheet pan, but I like to bake mine in a 9×13 so they are thicker and more substantial brownies unless I need to make a very large batch.  Another trick is to take them out right when they are cooked and a toothpick comes out almost clean.  For a Super Bowl party, my nephew came over to bake food for his party and we made two batches of brownies for each of our events.  I frosted mine with mocha buttercream, and he slathered nutella over the top and then toasted some marshmallows, sprinkled graham crackers and drizzled melted chocolate over the entire top.  They are also delicious just plain as well.  Click here for the recipe….
