These are Homemade Fudgy Brownies. The ooey gooey delicious brownies that I love. I will NEVER buy brownie mix again. There are thousands of recipes for brownies, both “cake-style” and “fudge-style” and everything in-between.
What determines the style of brownie is its ratio of flour to chocolate and/or cocoa. These have the perfect ratio!

Tips and Tidbits About Homemade Fudgy Brownies
Do not use a mixer because you can over mix your batter and whip too much air into the eggs. This makes your brownies have a cakey texture.
Mix everything by hand in a bowl and lightly beat your eggs before adding them to the mixture. Gently stirring everything together makes them turn out better as opposed to frantically beating the mixture.
