Passover Brownies
Passover brownies are almost always disappointing. Not these. How could they be with matzo meal for Pesach, bittersweet chocolate, sugar, butter, eggs, brandy, and nuts? They’re slightly crumbly outside and splendiferously fudgy inside.
Recipe

Katharine Hepburn brownies are an American classic and so easy to make with everyday pantry ingredients. Turns out dark, rich, intense, chewy fudge brownies. One of our most popular chocolate desserts. Here’s the original recipe.

Nutella brownies actually don’t call for the luscious jarred Italian stuff we go crazy for but rather the ingredients with which its made. Namely, hazelnuts and chocolate. No complaints here. Quite the contrary.

Recipe
Dulce de Leche Brownies
A chocolate brownie is a fudgy square of deliciousness with just the right amount of goo, and it beats all when it comes to downright indulgence. I adore the effect of the creamy dulce de leche swirled through dark, fudgy brownies.
Recipe
Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
Brownies are one of those incredibly easy things to make with little planning or forethought. They were the first thing I learned how to bake as a kid. Here, though, I've given the standard brownie an update by adding a raspberry-infused cream cheese layer and studded the whole thing with tangy, scarlet berries.

Recipe
Five-Ingredient Brownies
The BEST five-ingredient brownies. Truth? I tried to make "healthier" brownies and it didn't end well. So, I caved and made these instead. They're better. Much better. They remind me of the brownies I’d eat as a kid, and I’m pretty sure there’s nothing better–fudgy, extra chocolatey, and they have the flakiest, crinkliest top ever. SO GOOD.
Recipe
