Dark chocolate brownies sliced into large squares.

Dark Chocolate Brownies prove that sometimes the simplest desserts are the best. Rich and fudgy with a bold cocoa flavor, these one-bowl brownies are a dark chocolate lover's dream.

Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder
3 large eggs
1 cup semi-sweet morsels
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, optional garnish

Instructions

In a glass bowl, melt butter in microwave for 30 seconds to one minute. Add sugar, flour, cocoa and eggs. Stir with a spoon until well combined. Fold in morsels
Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Pour batter into dish, spreading evenly. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-28 minutes. I like my brownies a little under done and fudgy. You can add about 3-5 minutes for more well done, if desired.
Cool completely. Top with powdered sugar or your favorite frosting recipe. ENJOY.

Notes

For even more dark chocolate flavor, swap out the semi-sweet morsels for dark chocolate chips.
Spread your favorite chocolate frosting over these brownies instead of powdered sugar if you prefer.
The dark chocolate brownies will look a little underdone when they come out of the oven. I like them that way! They'll continue setting up a bit as they cool.
For a more well done brownie, add an additional 3 to 5 minutes to the baking time.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper. When the brownies are done cooling, you can grab the ends of the parchment paper to slide them out of the pan easily.

Store brownies in airtight container at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
