Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 family size box Betty Crocker™ dark chocolate fudge brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix package for cake-like texture
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 oz chopped good quality dark chocolate*
12 to 24 pastel candy coated chocolate eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325° for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
  • Make brownie mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Bake 24 to 26 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely.

DECADENT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES



Decadent Chocolate Brownies image

A brownie for chocolate lovers, this will really hit the spot when you're craving something "really chocolatey". This is a true brownie - not a cake brownie and not fudge. I do not recommend subbing out any of the dairy in this dessert, so keep that in mind. It will stay soft for days and has that perfect brownie texture. Side note: the batter will be thicker than you'd expect! That's OK!

Time 40m

Yield 8 Slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 rd cup cocoa powder
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon whole fat sour cream, heaping
1/2 cup chocolate bar with almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 177 Celsius.).
  • In a large mixing bowl, add egg and butter. Whisk until blended smoothly.
  • Whisk in white sugar, then add vanilla and baking powder.
  • Add cocoa powder, blend thoroughly.
  • Mix in flour (SLOWLY) and and then sour cream. Batter will be THICK! This is okay. If you find the batter is not thick or is runny, add 1/4 cup more flour. If you find the batter is getting too thick too fast, don't add the full cup. (If you feel the batter is far too thick you can always add more sour cream and/or some milk!).
  • Fold in chocolate pieces. I don't use baking chocolate - I use milk chocolate bars with almonds. Use your favorite brand.
  • Grease a 9" round or square baking tin. Pour brownie mix in, smoothing out with your spatula gently until it reaches the sides.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean. For me with a gas oven, that's 25 minutes.

DECADENT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

I have to admit, these are my all time favorite brownies.

Time 49m

Number Of Ingredients 8

ingredients needed to make the brownies:
1 c butter (melted)
1/3 c hershey's unsweetened special dark cocoa powder
2 c all-purpose flour
2 c granulated sugar
4 eggs
4 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting: 1 (16-oz) container, baker's choice chocolate frosting

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • 2. Grease the inside of a 9x13-inch baking pan with a bit of Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening. Set pan aside.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Blend together until smooth.
  • 4. Add the flour and sugar. Beat together, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined.
  • 5. Pour the batter into prepared baking pan, and spread out evenly.
  • 6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (I baked the brownies for 29 minutes.)
  • 7. Allow brownies to cool completely, then frost them with your favorite frosting. I used one (16 oz.) container of Baker's Corner Chocolate Frosting, which I purchased at Aldi's. I also sprinkled a few Holiday Sprinkles on top. (I chose yellow stars.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your brownies. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
  • Don't overbake the brownies: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent the brownies from crumbling.
