Super Fudge Brownies Mrs Fields My Changes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Oven to 300 degrees. Grease 8x8. Combine unsweetened chocolate and butter in medium saucepan. Melt over med-low heat stirring constantly. When pieces are almost melted remove from heat and stir smooth. Beat eggs about 5 minutes until light yellow in color. Add sugar and blend on low until combined. Add vanilla and melted chocolate to egg and blend smooth. Add flour and mix. Pour into pan. Smooth surface with spatula and sprinkle with chips. Bake on center rack of oven for 45-55 minutes. Batter should be set and toothpick in center should come out clean. Do not overbake. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour. Cut and serve chilled. Not only are the brownies absolutely decadent, but the crumbs from the bottom of the pan were fantastic on top of ice cream!

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a small saucepan, combine the butter and chopped chocolate and set over very low heat until melted. Stir the mixture and set aside to cool. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Measure the sugar into the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat in the cooled butter-chocolate mixture. Add the egg plus whites, vanilla, and water and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended. Don't overbeat. The batter will be thick. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes; 23 minutes is usually right for me. When done, the top will look dry and a wooden pick inserted near the edge will come out with a few crumbs but the center will look slightly gooey. Cool in the pan and cut into squares.
• I have been trying for a couple of years to produce a brownie worthy of the name with less fat and less solid chocolate. My taste testers finally agree that this is it - a great brownie they would never suspect of being lower in anything. I have cut the classic 58 percent down to 31 percent calories from fat and eliminated 87 calories, 10 g fat, and 22 mg cholesterol from each brownie.
• When traditional proportions are disrupted, textures become moist and cakey at best or dry, insipid, and tough at worst. One rule emerges clearly: The fewer ingredients, the better the brownie. Avoid the usual low-fat stand-ins: applesauce, yogurt, corn syrup, canola oil. Use butter, but less, and replace most of the solid chocolate with rich-tasting Dutch-processed cocoa; retain at least 1 ounce of solid chocolate, however, for a more complex chocolate taste. A few tricks: Cake flour produced a more tender crumb than all-purpose, and melting the butter with the chocolate, as opposed to creaming the solid butter with the sugar, gave a fudgier crumb. A touch of baking powder seems to enhance the crunch of the top crust.
• Faced with the choice of adding high-fat chopped nuts or keeping the 1/4 cup butter, there was no contest; nuts put us over the top in fat content. However, if you feel deprived without them, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of finely chopped walnuts on top before baking; the changes are modest: 33 percent calories from fat, plus 9 calories and 1g fat per brownie.

Steps:

• 1. Oven to 300 degrees. Grease an 8" square pan. Combine unsweetened chocolate and butter in med saucepan and melt over med-low heat, stirring constantly. When pieces are almost melted, remove from heat and stir smooth.
• 2. Beat eggs about 5 min until light yellow in color. Add sugar and blend on low to combine. Add vanilla and chocolate to egg, blend smooth. Add flour, mix. Pour batter into pan. Smooth with spatula and sprinkle with chips. Bake in center of oven 45-55 min. Batter should be set and toothpick in center should come out clean. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cut and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Line bottom and two sides with a strip of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two sides. Butter paper, and set pan aside. In a small bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Place butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes; remove bowl from pan. Add sugar; mix to combine. Add eggs, and mix to combine. Add flour mixture; mix just until moistened (do not overmix). Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 30 minutes. Using paper overhang, lift brownies out of pan; transfer to a rack to cool completely (still on paper). On a cutting board, using a dampened serrated knife, cut into 16 squares.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine on low heat.
• Remove from heat and in same pan, stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla, stir well.
• Add in flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in chips and nuts if desired.
• Bake at 350 for approx 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Do not over-bake.

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat the butter, sugar and cocoa until combined, not creamed.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating to just combine after each addition.
• Add the flour, vanilla and half the choc chips and stir until just combined. Don't over mix or the brownies will be tough.
• Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
• Pour the remaining choc chips over the top, getting a little everywhere. Use your hand to gently press the choc chips into the batter so they don't burn.
• Bake at 350oF (160oC) for 32 minutes.
• Cool for one hour, then place in the fridge until chilled.
• Do not slice or eat until the next day - this is VERY important.
