Awesome Chewy Brownies – these brownies are fudgy and chewy on the inside, and crackly on top. They truly are awesome!
I know what you’re thinking. Brownies, what the heck! I have like 23 recipes for brownies, why is she giving me another one? But let me tell you a little secret. I’ve never found a recipe for plain ole brownies that I like as much as the ones you make in a box.
I’ve got wonderful recipes for cheesecake brownies, mint brownies, peanut butter brownies, and several others. But no recipe for plain brownies that I like as much as a boxed mix. I know. Scandalous.
Here I call myself a cook and I like brownies from a box. But they’re just so darn good. I love the moist and fudgy middles. I adore the crackly tops. I’ve never been able to replicate that from scratch. Until now. So if you are a baker with a secret love of boxed brownies, this recipe is for you.
Try not to eat the entire pan warm and gooey out of the oven.

Sorry, but I’m a little confused by your notes. You said you substituted 1 Tbl. oil for the butter, so do I not use the 2 Tbl. butter at all and just use the 1 Tbl. of oil?
Do you know if it’s possible to use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips in this recipe?

Stephanie,
Sorry my notes were confusing, I fixed them. You make the recipe as stated, with the 2 Tbsp butter and the 1 Tbsp oil. Nope, you can’t substitute cocoa for the chocolate chips. They give it the crackly top and awesome texture. Also, they have fat and sugar in them, so if you substituted cocoa, the brownies would be dry and bitter.
