Ingredients
For the Brownies:
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips for extra richness.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting.
Make the Frosting
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the milk and cocoa powder until smooth.
Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
Tips for Perfect Brownies
Do not overbake; slightly underbaked brownies stay fudgy.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting for clean squares.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
For extra indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
These chocolate brownies are incredibly moist, intensely chocolatey, and topped with a silky frosting that makes them completely irresistible. One batch is rarely enough because everyone will be coming back for seconds.
