Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 8 ounces (2 sticks) butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a glass or ceramic bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugar, eggs, cocoa, and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt. Add chopped semisweet and bittersweet chocolates and pecans.

Spread the batter in prepared pan. Bake about 25 minutes, just until brownies test moist but not wet. Cool completely before cutting.

    Yikes. I wouldn't describe these as "fudgy" so much as "saucy"... Followed this recipe to a T and kind of bummed out by the outcome. Would try another one next time.

    Review Part II
    Well the chocolate melted completely,and it was quite soft texture.It was also a little sweet for me,that may be becuase of the cocoa changeout I made?
    I don't think it would make a difference if chocolate had been chopped smaller?
    But the recipe seems correct for flour.
