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.
