For this tasty test, we tried Baker’s Corner Fudge Brownies (that’s an Aldi brand), Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies, Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownies, Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie and Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownies. After careful consideration we chose our top three. Here’s what you should know: 3. Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies Stovetop: put the heat-proof bowl (I use glass) with chocolate and butter over a smaller pan with 1-2 inches of water. Over medium heat, let the chocolate and butter melt, stirring occasionally. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water and that no water gets into the bowl. The Homemade Brownies That Weren’t Actually Worth the Effort: The Pioneer Woman’s Dark Chocolate Brownies This recipe claims to be the perfect brownie for dark chocolate lovers. It uses both unsweetened chocolate and cocoa powder to give it a double hit of chocolate flavor, and is made entirely in one pot so cleanup is a breeze. Instructions. Preheat the oven to 350° F (375° F for high altitude baking). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with baking spray or lightly butter and dust with flour. Tap out the excess flour. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat stirring frequently. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 7×11 pan with nonstick foil. 2. Drain the cherries and coarsely chop them. Use a kitchen scissor-easy! Spread them out on a paper towel to dry slightly. 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, dark cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. 4. Stir in Espresso. A jolt of espresso powder is just the thing to amp up plain ol’ brownies. Stir a heaping teaspoon into the dry ingredients before adding the liquids, then bake as usual. Espresso not only makes the chocolate flavor more pronounced, but it also adds a subtle touch of beloved java flavor. Place all the ingredients except chocolate chips and walnuts in a food processor or blender and pulse thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Pour batter in the baking dish. Top with nuts and chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is dry and edges begin to pull away from the baking dish. B9xo.
