    About the recipe

    This recipe is from back of Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips bag. Some of the recipes on back of the ingredient boxes/bags are really good and Hershey's ultimate chocolate brownies is one of them.

    I made half the recipe and it was way too much for just the two of us. As usual, I ended up eating most of the brownies as husband does not have a sweet tooth.

    Brownies are on a sweeter side. You can add some nuts to balance of the sweetness. If you have a sweet tooth, follow the recipe as is. Even otherwise, addition of nuts gives these a different taste.

    How to serve?

    Serve the brownies as is or with some vanilla ice cream. I often serve it with no churn ice-cream, a 2 ingredient recipe. These brownies are great to pack as a school snack or even after school snack. Anyone would love to receive these as edible gifts.

    Equipment

    • Mixing Bowl
    • Handheld mixer or a whisk
    • 8" square baking pan
    • Spatula

    Ingredients

    • ⅜ cup Cocoa
    • ¼ tsp. Baking Soda
    • ⅓ cup Butter melted & divided
    • ¼ cup Boiling Water
    • 1 cup Sugar
    • 1 Egg
    • ½ + ⅙ cup All Purpose Flour
    • ½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
    • ⅛ tsp. Salt
    • ½ cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
    • Grease a 8” square baking pan.
    • Stir together cocoa and baking soda in a medium – large bowl.
    • Stir in ½ the melted butter (that is ⅙ cup of melted butter).
    • Add boiling water and stir until the mixture thickens.
    • Add sugar, remaining butter (remaining ⅙ cup melted butter), egg and stir until the mixture is smooth.
    • Add flour, salt, vanilla extract and blend until all the ingredients are blended in.
    • Stir in chocolate chips and pour into a prepared baking pan.
    • Bake in a pre-heated 350F oven for 30 – 35 minutes or until brownies begins to pull away from the pan.
    • Remove from the oven, cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
    • Cut into 16 – 20 pieces or to a desired size.

    Notes

    • Sugar – I left the brownies were bit on the sweeter side. Next time I would add 1 or 2 tbsp. less sugar OR cut back on semi-sweet chocolate chips and add some nuts instead.
    • Nuts – While I was eating the brownies wished I added some nuts. If one likes nuts, add few chopped nuts along with chocolate chips.
    • Nutrition - Values listed are approximate.
