The Best Chewy Chocolate Brownies: These thick, moist, chewy chocolate brownies are the ultimate in chocolate brownies. They have a rich, fudge-y center, and the best crinkly top! They are the perfect indulgence!
The best chewy chocolate brownies: I am not kidding when I say these are the best chewy chocolate brownies. There is just something about an ooey, gooey, thick, rich, chewy brownie that I can’t get enough of. I used to think that brownies, cakes, etc. should all just be made from a box: super fast, super easy, and very little mess or hassle.
There are times I still think this, but when it comes to The Best Chewy Chocolate Brownies, there is no reason to use a mix when you can make them from scratch so quickly and easily. And have such phenomenal results! And you guys, the results really are spectacular in this case. They are so thick and decadent, you won’t be able to get enough of these tasty treats.
Tips for Making the Best Chewy Chocolate Brownies:
- Don’t over stir. You want chewy, but you don’t want chewwwwwwwy, ya know? In other words, you want them to be dense and fudgey, but not tough. So stir in that little bit of flour, but don’t stir too much. Just until it is incorporated.
- Let the brownies cool. This is the hardest part for me because I just want to dig in, but if you let them cool fully you get the ultimate impact of the crinkly crusty top and the fudge-y center. They will stay together and not be as gooey of a mess.
- Cook to perfection: One to two minutes can take great brownies to “eh” brownies. So keep an eye, and make sure they are not wet, and don’t jiggle in the center, but also aren’t coming away from the edges too much.
- Bake in glass. This recipe is written for a glass pan. If you bake these in a metal pan, it won’t take as long, so keep an eye out. I use an 8 x 8 glass baking dish. In fact, this is the exact one I use: Pyrex 8 x 8 Baking Dish
The Best Chewy Chocolate Brownies: Just take a close look at that brownie. You have the crusty part on the top, the fudge-like, center, and the chewy, rich goodness that makes up the rest of it. Trust me when I tell you that waiting for them to cool is a challenge. You will be smelling the chocolate goodness wafting through your house, and your stomach will be rumbling, and the mouth watering, calling out for just one tiny morsel of the perfect brownie. But one tiny morsel will never satisfy. In fact, you may want to make a double batch…just saying!
Sometimes I make The Best Chewy Chocolate Brownies and top them to make them even more decadent. They are the base for the S’mores Brownies, which are To. Die. For, and have a graham cracker crust. You could use them in place of the Raspberry Compote Covered Double Chocolate Brownies (although that recipe is dang good too if I say so myself), or you can enjoy them just the way they are!

What size pan do you use?
Rachael says
I’m sorry. I should have mentioned that. I used an 8 x 8 square pan. But you could also use 11 x 7
savoryexperiments says
What oven temp?
Rachael says
Wow, I really need to start editing my recipes better. It is 350. Thanks for asking!
Tiffani says
I have a 15 x12 pan. Should I double the measurements? Thank you
Rachael says
Yes, this works perfectly in 8×8 so should work in a 15 x 12 if doubled.
Christian says

Rachael says
Thank you! I made a batch myself today. Yum
Wendy says
Hi, Rachel, I always have difficult time to make brownies. Please help me to solve the problem. I know it sounds kind of silly, because brownies are so easy to make. My difficult part of making brownies is why each time when I started to bake the brownies in the oven. I will see sizzling oil on the top of brownie instead of dry crack? what did I do wrong? I can’t figure why? I have tried so many different brownie recipes. I feel so discouraged. Please help me! Thank you very much!
Rachael says
Wendy, I have never heard of this. Let me ask around to some of my more experienced baker friends to see what they suggest. Thanks
