Finding the perfect brownie is hard! Some are too sweet, some are too floury, some have too little nuts and chips in them, and when I tried to bake them in the past, the brownies looked more like fudge…or puddles.

This is the perfect recipe. Slightly crusty on the outside, perfectly chewy, fudgy and gooey on the inside. Full of chips, nuts and chocolate crunch….heaven.
