Description

These Fudge-Topped Brownies are the ultimate comfort dessert, combining a dense, chewy chocolate base with a luscious, creamy fudge layer. Made with simple pantry staples like cocoa, flour, and butter, the brownie batter bakes up moist and tender. While they finish baking, you prepare a rich topping by melting chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, creating a decadent sauce that spreads easily over the hot cake. As they cool, the fudge sets into a perfect, gooey glaze. These brownies are ideal for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or simply satisfying a serious chocolate craving. Store them at room temperature for the best texture, though they keep well in the fridge for a firmer slice.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350&# 194;Â°F (175ÃÂ°C).
Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine melted margarine, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, eggs, milk, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.
Mix well until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the brownies bake, place chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla in a heavy saucepan.
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Immediately spread the warm fudge mixture evenly over the hot brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the topping.
Cut into bars and serve.
