There are three types of brownies; fudge, cake, and chewy. My favorite is fudge brownies. This brownie recipe is more of a mix between fudge and chewy. Fudge brownies typically have less flour and are prepared with melted butter. I also used milk chocolate chips vs. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips. However, that is just a matter of preference with taste. I also added Kahlua syrup after baking. This syrup adds a subtle flavor and a richness to the brownies. Brownies are so easy to make. When preparing the batter it is important to not over mix, you only need to mix until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can change the consistency of the brownie once baked.

Kahlua Brownie Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup flour
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks of butter)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup sugar

Ingredients for Kahlua syrup:

1/4 cup water
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup Kahlua


Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a sauce pan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. While the chocolate is melting, beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.
3. Once the chocolate is melted, add sugar and vanilla.
4. Stir until combined and the sugar has dissolved.

8. Spread into a 9x13 greased pan.

10. While the brownies are baking, microwave the water and sugar in a microwave safe container until the sugar has dissolved. This took me only 30 seconds.

12. Once done, take the brownies out of the oven.
13. Poke holes in the brownies with a tooth pick or fork.
