This is the ultimate chewy fudge brownie recipe. These delicious brownies taste just like those box mix brownies we grew up with. They stay moist for days and are baked with tiny bits of mini chocolate chips which add just the right amount of bite.
While testing these brownies, I had batches that didn’t hold up at room temperature which drove me CRAZY. So I made sure that these are room temperature stable. They’re also delicious refrigerated. Just remember to store them in an airtight container so they stay great tasting.
This recipe makes an 8×8-inch square pan. I cut them into 9 squares for the photo, but afterwards cut them in half to yield 18 servings. Make this recipe by hand to prevent over mixing. And best to refrigerate them until completely cooled. It will make slicing so much easier.
Enjoy!
