Craving Chocolate? Learn How to Make Chewy, Fudgy, or Cakey Brownies

Salted Chocolate Malted Brownies

Salt may be a familiar addition to caramel desserts, but it can also enhance the flavor of other sweets—like chocolate. Malted milk powder and chunks of crushed up malt balls give the brownies that yummy malt flavor (and a little bit of crunch, too).

Red Velvet Brownie Torte

Brownies can be dressed up, too. Case in point: This sweet layered dessert, which features fudgy brownies laced with red food coloring, just like red velvet cakes, and a rich cream cheese frosting.

Hazelnut Swirl Blondies

Boost this classic blondie recipe with swirls of chocolate-hazelnut spread to add richness and make them look even more special.

Tahini S'mores Blondies

You may know tahini as a key ingredient in hummus, but the sesame paste adds a sweet, nutty flavor to these blondies. To make this a full-on s'mores experience, don't skimp on the graham cracker crumbs and chocolate in the batter, or the toasted marshmallow topping.

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Chunks of peanut butter cups take this fudgy brownie recipe over the top. No peanut butter cups around? It's a perfect way to use any leftover candy bars in your house. (We'd love these with peppermint patties, chopped-up peanut butter-nougat bars, or toffee.)

Chewy Chocolate Brownies

For chewy brownie fans, this recipe can't be beat. Chocolate chunks add gooey pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownies.

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Brownies

If you're looking for wow-worthy brownies, this might be the brownie recipe for you. Brownie batter, cheesecake, and crumbled Oreo cookies are swirled together for a little something for every sweet tooth in your family.

Fudgy Brownie Recipe

Peanut Blondies

While these super fast (10 minutes of prep!) blondie recipes are perfect on their own, they're also the base for whatever mix-ins you love—mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, jam, nutella, or even crushed pretzels for a sweet and salty combination.

Salted Caramel Brownie Bites

Chocolate and caramel are a match made in dessert heaven—and this super easy treat elevates a standard brownie mix by adding candy to the center and a topping of caramel and sprinkles.

Chocolate Chip Pecan Blondies

Studding blondies with chocolate chips is like making chocolate chip cookies without the hassle of spooning out batter and swapping baking sheets in and out of the oven. Sweet pecans add extra crunch to every bite.

Ginger Chocolate-Chip Bars
