The classic chocolate brownie is something I often crave and always love. Lots of kids and adults feel the same way, I am pretty well convinced. Think the smell of brownies baking will bring the neighbors over? Feel free to double the batch, just in case!

Almost everyone has a seriously impassioned opinion about what kind of brownie is the absolute best. Chewy! Cakey! Soft and gooey! But whatever your favorite style, when presented with a plate of homemade brownies, hardly anyone can resist having at least one (after all, it’s only polite!).

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup butter, plus more for greasing
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
2 ounces dark chocolate
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs*
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease a 9-by-9-inch square baking pan (you can also line the pan with aluminum foil and grease the foil).**

Melt the butter and chocolates in a medium to large saucepan over low heat, or use a microwave. Watch carefully. Meanwhile, gently beat the eggs in a bowl and stir in the vanilla.

When the butter and chocolate mixture is melted, take it off the heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour and cocoa powder and stir well with a spoon or whisk, but do not overmix.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. (If you’re using chocolate chips or nuts, mix them into the batter first or sprinkle them on top of the batter before baking, pressing them down a bit into the batter.) Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Let the brownies cool before lifting them from the pan.
