35 Rich, Moist Brownie Recipes

Our brownie recipes offer traditional chocolate bars plus variations with frosting, cream cheese, whipped cream, ice cream, candy pieces, nuts and more.

Fudge Brownies [1]

The key to a perfect homemade brownie is not overcooking it. Rather than a toothpick test, trust your eyes and nose to tell you when the brownie is set. The center will stay ever-so-slightly moist.
