How to Make the BEST Double Chocolate Brownies Recipe

The best part about making brownies from scratch is; you may have everything you need in your pantry right now. That’s the perfect excuse to bake a batch today.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Double Chocolate Brownies: Flour, butter, unsweetened baking chocolate, semi sweet chocolate chips, butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, all purpose flour salt and large eggs.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Stand mixer or hand mixer, measuring cups and spoons, small microwave sale bowl, small bowl for flour, medium bowl, whisk, silicone spatula and 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
Another rule of thumb when baking brownies in general is to bake them until you see moist crumbs on a toothpick when inserted into the center. This is one time you aren’t looking for the toothpick to come back clean. Over-baking brownies will result in them being dry and crumbly.
I am a seasoned baker and almost always use a whisk to sift dry ingredients together for baking. It works like a charm for breads, sweets and any recipe that requires sifting.
When measuring flour, never scoop but rather spoon the flour into the measuring cup then level with a knife.
It’s important to allow these brownies to cool in the pan before attempting to cut them. The reason is, they’re so moist they may fall apart, if cut too soon.
Serve these brownies as is, or make brownie sundaes topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate ganache, fresh whipped cream and the token maraschino cherry on top. You can also make brownie strawberry shortcakes or include them in other recipes such as trifles.
Store Double Chocolate Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
