Fudge Brownies Recipe

I make this fudge brownies recipe with the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie mix, but I add different ingredients.

Honestly, Ghirardelli makes the BEST chocolate brownies and it is hard to beat them.

Their double chocolate brownies have a fudge chocolate batter with chocolate chips that add a little crunch when cooled down.

I add butter and buttermilk to make them off the chain....

You can use a different brownie mix, but if they don't turn out as good, I don't want to hear about it.... just saying!

Steps

Follow these steps to make gooey, rich chocolate fudge brownies with fudge frosting!

For the Fudge Brownies:

1. Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.In a large mixing bowl, add 2 boxes of brownie mix, butter, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
2. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until center is set, but still a little soft.
4. Cool for 20 minutes. In the last 5 minutes, begin making frosting.

The brownies are amazing all by themselves, but I take them to a whole new level with my fudge gooey frosting. This is the stuff willy Wonka would have floating down that chocolate river. Friends, this stuff is ridiculous. Enjoy!

For Fudge Frosting

1. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Stir in cocoa and milk. Continue to stir until it begins to reach a soft boil.
3. Remove from heat and quickly mix in powder sugar.
4. Pour frosting over brownies.
5. Allow brownies to completely cool before serving and cutting.

How to make buttermilk

If you do not have buttermilk at home handy, you can make your own. To make buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.

Let the milk stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes until it thickens and forms small curdled bits.

Why are these so chewy?

Brownies made with butter create a chewier texture than brownies made with oil. This recipe uses butter for the brownie batter.
