Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Step 5
Gently stir in the chocolate chips to incorporate evenly into the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Step 9
Optionally, dust the fudge squares with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation. Serve and enjoy!
