So I think this is prob one of my favorite recipes on here thus far.

Want to know why?!

Because first of all, these brownies are absolutely amazing.

Second, because I’ve always tried to make brownies from scratch & although they were good, they were never better than the boxed brownies !

HOWEVER, we have officially changed that !

These brownies are better than boxed brownies & I named them ‘the perfect brownie’ because they really are.

They aren’t just ‘rich’, just ‘fluffy’, just ‘fudgie’, just 'thick', just 'crackly top'. THEY ARE ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

You are welcome, world.

Also I like these photos, LOLLL

I could literally rave on about these for days but let's be real I have better things to do... LIKE PACKING FOR ITALYYYYYY THIS WEEEEEEKKKKKK ! Obnoxious, I know. I'll make sure to bring back some good reciples *winky-face*.

OK foreals though, scroll down for this magnificent recipe!

BETTER THAN BOXED BROWNIES

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup chocolate chips *I used semi-sweet*

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 tsp vanilla

1 shot espresso or 1 tsp espresso powder w/ 1 tbsp hot water

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F & grease pan. (I used 9x6, you can use anything with a similar square inch if you want them this thick, i.e. 8x8)
Melt butter with chocolate together & set aside.
Whisk together flour, salt & cocoa powder & set aside.
Combine hot water with espresso powder (or make a shot of espresso) & set aside.
With hand mixer, beat together eggs & sugar for a few minutes until pale in color.
Add in chocolate & butter mixture , beat until fully combined.
Mix in espresso & vanilla.
Fold in dry ingredients & any other add-ins of choice.
Bake until toothpick comes out with a lot of crumbs but not fully liquid batter. This was about 45 minutes for me but check it sooner, you don't want to over bake.

I really really really hope someone makes these because they are so phenominalllllll! ...I probably said that before, but they really are. In fact, I should make these again. Thinking of doing a giveaway when I reach 1,000 followers on insta, maybe this will be one of them, so make sure to follow me @baranbernice *dancing emoji*. ok off to cleaning my kitchen & doing laundry/packing for Italy I go! Until next time,
