Crazy Easy Fudgey Brownies

Made these for cards night and covered them in melted chocolate. The melted chocolate part didn’t go 100% right so I won’t post that part. The brownies themselves are delish, though. This is the Hershey’s fudgey brownie recipe.

1 4 oz. bar unsweetened baking chocolate
3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter
2 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. flour

Heat oven to 350. Grease a 13×9 or 8×8 brownie pan.

Gently melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in the microwave using short bursts at 50% power. When the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth, stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add flour and stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts, if desired.

Pour into pan and bake for ~35 minutes, until the center is just set and a knife.toothpick comes out of the middle almost clean (it will set up more as it cools, and it’s supposed to be gooey anyway).
