Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until it’s completely liquid and shiny. Let it cool slightly.
- Combine melted butter and sugar in a bowl, whisking until glossy. Add eggs one at a time along with the vanilla, whisking until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Use the toothpick test to check for doneness—should come out with moist crumbs.
Serving
- Let the brownies cool slightly. Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave and drizzle over brownies.
- Cut into squares, serve topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Substitute unsweetened applesauce for half the butter for a lighter version. Add mint extract for a seasonal twist. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
