Step 1: Prepare the Pan

- Brush melted butter on the bottom and sides of your baking pan.
- Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt Chocolate & Butter
- Combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl.
- Melt using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Beat Eggs & Sugars
- In another bowl, whisk eggs with granulated and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- For extra smoothness, place the bowl over simmering water and whisk gently to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4: Combine Mixtures
- Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture to the egg-sugar mixture.
- Stir until glossy and fully combined.
Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients
- Sift flour and cocoa powder together.
- Gently fold into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6: Bake
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake at 170°C (338°F) for about 25 minutes.
- Brownies are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 7: Cool & Serve
- Let brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Lift out using parchment and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Slice into squares and enjoy with milk or a scoop of ice cream.
✨ These fudge brownies are rich, gooey, and utterly satisfying—the kind of dessert that disappears fast at any gathering.
