Fudge-Topped Brownies
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.Ingredients
