The Best Homemade Brownie Recipe Ever!

This is the BEST brownie recipe! With crispy edges, fudgy centers and rich, chocolate flavor, these homemade brownies will disappear in no time.

For years I couldn’t seem to find a recipe for brownies that met my standards. Anytime I baked homemade brownies I wanted them to taste just like the ones I ate as a young girl on the west side of Detroit – super-fudgy, moist, and chocolatey, with crispy edges and crackly tops. But the thing is these brownies didn’t come from a recipe. We always made them from a box.

These days I prefer to bake from scratch, but no brownie recipe I tried could live up to the chocolate brownies of my childhood.
