Super Fudgy Brownies Recipe
I’m sure you’re all…”A brownie recipe?”. Isn’t she supposed to be eating Zoodles and low-carbing it up right now? Yeah…well..about that…
Umm.
Moving on. Brownies.
These Malted Chocolate Brownies are dense, chewy and chocolatey for days! If you are still on the fence about malt, try my Fudgy Brownie Recipe. They are a completely perfect, classic fudgy brownie!
Now these aren’t a lickity-split brownie…I mean, they aren’t hard for sure..but they do involve a bit of chocolate chopping. So if you’re opposed to that try my kid’s favorite brownies. I actually made these a few weeks ago, smack dab in the middle of the holidays where no recipe was off limits., no sweet was too complicated! Again, not that these are complicated. But they’re just not…ugh. I don’t know what I am saying.
Just chop the dang chocolate. Jayz.
Anyhow, they are a really lovely dark chocolate brownie. In other words, they aren’t for the faint of heart. But I will tell you I LOVED LOVED them, and they will most likely be my “fancy” brownie recipe from now on.
I also hate when photos don’t do a recipe justice…and these brownies, while they look good…they are ten times more perfect than these photos look. I promise y’all.
Why This is The Best Brownies Recipe
They aren’t cakey at all.. they are chewy and dense and rich and pretty much everything a brownie should be! The texture is a little bit like the “Cosmic Brownie” of Little Debbie fame from my childhood…or yesterday, whatever.
Also, full disclosure, I have even over-baked them just a touch and they were still amazing! In my experience, if you over-bake a brownie they need to go swim with the fishes. It doesn’t work. But these…and I’ve made a few batches of them, aren’t finicky. Even the edges are perfect, and I am not an edge piece girl.
You don’t have to be obsessed with finding that sweet-spot bake time, which takes the pressure off.
How to Make Malted Chocolate Brownies
Like I said, there is a bit of chocolate chopping involved for these malted brownies…and I always recommend using a higher quality chocolate for brownies. It makes a real difference.
There is a combo of brown and granulated sugar in these guys…
And after you melt the chocolate the batter whips up in a pinch!
And I line my pans with foil whenever making bars, it makes for a simple clean-up, but more importantly it makes for clean cutting and removing for pretty brownies! Just let them cool completely. It’s hard, I know.
When they’re baked, like I said, let them cool!
Then chop up some more chocolate (semi-sweet this time) and make a quick ganache to pour over top…
Get it a pretty swirl if you’re feeling fancy…
And chill them until the ganache sets up.
Then you’re ready to get down and dirty with these bad boys…

PLEASE could you post this recipe in grams??? I’m from Australia and the “cups” and “tbsp” vary SO much when I use the American system. The online converters aren’t great… would really appreciate it as i would love to try these and would be great for people from here and the UK who use metric. Thanks! Your blog is inspiring and would be awesome if I could actually make something myself from here 🙂 🙂
I’ve made malted ice cream with brownies pieces in it, and malted cookies but somehow never malted brownies. Definitely a must make!
The frosting makes the brownies looks so dreamy, I’m smitten!
