These Fudge Bars are a delightful combination of chocolatey goodness and chewy texture. They’re easy to make and a guaranteed hit among friends and family.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them in now for an extra chocolatey experience.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the fudge bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy!
