If you’ve been on the search for the perfect brownie recipe…look no further because it’s right here in this post. These salted fudge brownies are a home run for anyone who likes a gooey, fudgy brownie texture and also for those who love a good salted baked good like I do!

When it comes to desserts I tend to gravitate more towards fruity flavored things rather than chocolate. When I look at a dessert menu I can always pass on things like chocolate cake and chocolate mousse. I like chocolate in things but I don’t like strictly chocolate flavored things.

One exception is brownies. I have a soft spot in my heart for brownies. They remind me so much of my childhood. My family always kept boxed brownie mix in the pantry and baked them regularly. I admit to loving boxed brownies (even to this day), especially the Ghirardelli brand. We always underbaked them a little so that they were still gooey in the center, which is the best way for brownies to be in my opinion.

While I’ll still use boxed brownie mix from time-to-time, my favorite from-scratch recipe is these Salted Fudge Brownies. They are rich, gooey, chocolatey and absolutely decadent….and almost as easy as using a boxed mix!

SALTED FUDGE BROWNIES

I have been baking this brownie recipe for nearly ten years and they’ve remained my go-to brownie recipe for several reasons.

PREPPED USING ONLY ONE PAN + ONLY 8 INGREDIENTS

Only one sauce pan and eight ingredients are necessary to prep the brownie batter. Everything is mixed together right in the saucepan and then poured into the baking pan to bake. These brownies are incredibly fast and easy to prepare. You can have them in the oven in under 15 minutes.

SEA SALT + CHOCOLATE = A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Ask anyone who’s tried this recipe and they will tell you that the salt absolutely takes these brownies to the next level. There is a little bit of sea salt incorporated into the batter during prep but the real magic happens when you sprinkle the remaining sea salt onto the batter and swirl it in with a butter knife just before baking.

OVER THE TOP FUDGY AND DELICIOUS

These salted fudge brownies are SO fudgy and SO delicious. I have never served these to anyone who hasn’t absolutely gone crazy over them. Seriously, the salt + fudge combo is out of this world and I’ve become semi-famous among my friend group for these brownies. They’re one of my “signature desserts” and everyone gets so excited when I bring them.

Pro tip: serve them warm with ice cream and you’ll really knock it out of the park. 

YOU MUST TRY THESE SALTED FUDGE BROWNIES!

Really, these salted fudge brownies are so simple, easy and decadently delicious that you have no reason not to make them ASAP. I promise you’ll thank me for it (and so will whoever you share them with!).

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]
