These decadent morsels make the perfect sweet treat; whether you fancy a classic, no frills chocolate brownie, or an upgraded version with nuts or berries, these are the fail-safe recipes you want. There’s even a sugar-free version for the health-conscious, and a luscious beetroot brownie for the adventurous.
We’ve even thrown in a blondie, a brownie cookie (brookie) and a brownie ice-cream stack for good measure.
The secret to fudgy brownies
Usually, it’s all about the baking time. If your brownies tend to be too dry, drop the baking time back by 5 minutes each time you bake brownies until you get the consistency that suits your taste, and don’t forget to make notes about what you’ve done.
If your recipe uses white sugar, try using coarse granulated table sugar instead, as this will help with fudginess.
If your recipe beats butter, sugar and eggs together as in a cake recipe, use the same proportions of ingredients but change the method: Melt the butter and chocolate, then stir in the other ingredients. This will result in a heavier, fudgier brownie.
