Super Fudgy Brownies Recipe
I’m sure you’re all…”A brownie recipe?”. Isn’t she supposed to be eating Zoodles and low-carbing it up right now? Yeah…well..about that…
Umm.
Moving on. Brownies.
These Malted Chocolate Brownies are dense, chewy and chocolatey for days! If you are still on the fence about malt, try my Fudgy Brownie Recipe. They are a completely perfect, classic fudgy brownie!
Now these aren’t a lickity-split brownie…I mean, they aren’t hard for sure..but they do involve a bit of chocolate chopping. So if you’re opposed to that try my kid’s favorite brownies. I actually made these a few weeks ago, smack dab in the middle of the holidays where no recipe was off limits., no sweet was too complicated! Again, not that these are complicated. But they’re just not…ugh. I don’t know what I am saying.
Just chop the dang chocolate. Jayz.
Anyhow, they are a really lovely dark chocolate brownie. In other words, they aren’t for the faint of heart. But I will tell you I LOVED LOVED them, and they will most likely be my “fancy” brownie recipe from now on.
I also hate when photos don’t do a recipe justice…and these brownies, while they look good…they are ten times more perfect than these photos look. I promise y’all.
Why This is The Best Brownies Recipe
They aren’t cakey at all.. they are chewy and dense and rich and pretty much everything a brownie should be! The texture is a little bit like the “Cosmic Brownie” of Little Debbie fame from my childhood…or yesterday, whatever.
Also, full disclosure, I have even over-baked them just a touch and they were still amazing! In my experience, if you over-bake a brownie they need to go swim with the fishes. It doesn’t work. But these…and I’ve made a few batches of them, aren’t finicky. Even the edges are perfect, and I am not an edge piece girl.
You don’t have to be obsessed with finding that sweet-spot bake time, which takes the pressure off.
How to Make Malted Chocolate Brownies
Like I said, there is a bit of chocolate chopping involved for these malted brownies…and I always recommend using a higher quality chocolate for brownies. It makes a real difference.
There is a combo of brown and granulated sugar in these guys…
And after you melt the chocolate the batter whips up in a pinch!
And I line my pans with foil whenever making bars, it makes for a simple clean-up, but more importantly it makes for clean cutting and removing for pretty brownies! Just let them cool completely. It’s hard, I know.
When they’re baked, like I said, let them cool!
Then chop up some more chocolate (semi-sweet this time) and make a quick ganache to pour over top…
Get it a pretty swirl if you’re feeling fancy…
And chill them until the ganache sets up.
Then you’re ready to get down and dirty with these bad boys…

These look scrumptious! What kind of “high quality” milk chocolate do you use? I can find “high quality” dark chocolate all day long but usually not milk. I typically use the Ghirardelli chips but I don’t really consider them high quality just better quality. TIA!
I am 100% willing to chop chocolate for an end result like this. Seriously, though, people don’t want to chop chocolate? You get to eat it while you chop it… and then again after you’ve baked it! Win-win!
Edge pieces shouldn’t even exist. When is it going to become socially acceptable to cut out the very center piece of the brownies while at a party? Love these!
It doesn’t matter how healthy I am trying to be, there is always room for brownies!
I just love malt! These look truly wonderful. And chocolate ganache too – brilliant!
One of my new year’s resolutions is to eat less chocolate, and then I find this gorgeous recipe. Ah, well. I’m giving in.
oh no! Well, I won’t be bossy or anything, but it’s not too late to come up with a new resolution 🙂
I’m on day 2 of no dessert. DARN YOU! 😉 These look fantastic!
It ain’t fun, is it?
These look so positively scrumptious!! Dying for a bite!
Delicious looking! I actually love chopping chocolate, for some weird reason. Too bad I’m allergic to malt 🙁
You coul.d make these without malt for sure. And how funny you love chopping chocolate! I need to hire you!
I am totally an edge pieced girl and these looks amazing. I’ll happily chop chocolate for these!
I’m not sure if we can still be friends 🙂
