  4. Fudge Brownies

Use an 8x8 baking dish. If you use a 9x13, double the recipe or the brownies will be too short, and cook covered with foil. This is my go to brownie recipe. They will be dense and fudgy and chocolately. You can also add liquors to this like cherry brandy. This will increase the bake time and they will be more cake-like until they sit for a day. If the brownies are really really thick, then cook covered with foil for a bit.
