Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Dear Chocolate- Lover Friends,
Oh… do I have a brownie for you. It’s totally chocolatey- it’s packed with chocolate chips, and it’s topped with even more chocolate! It’s from blogger Joy Wilson’s new cookbook: Joy the Baker. These are Chocolate Fudge Brownies!
Joy tops these with a Chocolate Buttercream Frosting in her book. Her frosting has Ovaltine Powder in it, which is pretty much brilliant. If I had Ovaltine Powder in my house… it would be a very dangerous thing indeed. I was truly obsessed with Ovaltine Powder and its magical qualities of transforming milk into something wonderful when I was a pre-teen. I.used.to.eat.it.obsessively.by.the.spoonful! #confession
Anyway… I opted to top Joy’s brownies with a simple chocolate glaze instead. It worked for me, and it worked for these brownies, and it worked for everyone who consumed them.
I have had the good fortune of meeting Joy the Baker a couple of times. She’s a fun, flirty, cute, single girl. I’d totally set her up with my best guy friend if he wasn’t already married. Joy’s debut cookbook, Joy the Baker, was released at the end of February. Her book is no less than awesome. Joy shot all of her own photography, and I love all of her tidbit stories and intros to her recipes. The girl is just plain cool. I’m excited to try the following recipes from this book: Baked Coffee Cake French Toast, Giant Cinnamon Rolls with Buttermilk Glaze, Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes, Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies, Peanut Butter Birthday Cake, Pineapple Malted Milkshake, Strawberry Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding and Vanilla Bean Snickerdoodles. Everything looks so good! 
Joy is giving away one copy of her book, Joy the Baker, to one lucky RecipeGirl reader! This giveaway is open to anyone who has a mailing address in the USA. One winner will be chosen via random.org on Sunday, April 8th and will be contacted via email. The winner will receive one Joy the Baker cookbook.
This giveaway is now over. The randomly selected winner is commenter #26 Haley- congrats & thanks to all for entering!
Joy the Baker is available for purchase on Amazon, and it’s in bookstores too. You can visit author Joy Wilson on her blog: Joy the Baker, on Twitter and Facebook.
Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Yield: 16 to 20 brownies
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 25 min
Ingredients:
BROWNIES:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chipsGLAZE:
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 to 5 teaspoons hot water (or more, as needed)Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray, then line it with a strip of parchment paper (edges hanging over), and spray the parchment with nonstick spray too.
2. Prepare the brownies: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat the butter and chocolate until butter is melted (about 75 seconds). Whisk the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate is melted and smooth (heat a few more seconds, if needed). Alternately, you may melt the butter and chocolate together in a pan set on top of a pot of simmering water. Remove from heat. Whisk the sugars into the mixture. Then whisk in the eggs, yolk and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture until well incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center of the brownie comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely before adding the glaze.
4. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla. Whisk in 4 teaspoons of hot water, then add more water- 1 teaspoon at a time- until you reach a desired glaze consistency. You want to be able to pour it on the brownies.
5. Use the parchment paper to move the brownies from the pan to a cutting board. Pour the glaze on top of the brownies, and use the bottom of a spoon to gently spread it to the edges. Let the glaze set (chill if you'd like) before cutting.

I think I go through phases of favorite baking projects, and right now it’s scones. They usually have chocolate in them.
Denise — April 4, 2012 @ 9:17 AM
I <3 being the birthday baker for my family! It started out as my gift to them when I was going to college and quickly became the highlight to each individuals birthday. Some are traditional and request the same thing every year, others leave it up to me.
For example, my Mom's request is coconut-cream pie, every time! My choices usually revolve around seasonal fresh fruits or a recipe I'm just dying to try. I absolutely love baking for my family!
cami stewart — April 4, 2012 @ 9:19 AM
I can’t help it… My favorite thing to bake is carrot cake. Maybe is because my dad’s favorite cake comes from the carrot. Or just the idea of indulging in sweet yummy cake with no guilt because it has healthy carrots!
Abby @ Fig & Fork — April 4, 2012 @ 9:21 AM
Tarts! I have a crazy collection of different shaped tart pans, so they always come out looking so pretty. They’re much easier (for me) than baking cookies and always seem to impress everyone – including myself! : )

wendy — April 4, 2012 @ 11:53 AM
I DO love to bake brownies, but they are dangerous for me to have around!! Quick breads are a good option … not so tempting!
Elizabeth — April 4, 2012 @ 11:55 AM
Gosh that’s a hard question to answer, cause everything I just about bake is my favorite! Hmm…But if I had to choose just one thing that I absolutely love and is my all time favorite is…*drum roll please* Carrot Cake! Just in time too cause Easter is a few days away too. ^_~

My favorite thing to bake is apple crisp
Janelle — April 4, 2012 @ 11:57 AM
I love Joy! I love to bake cheesecake, but don’t do it often because my husband doesn’t like it. Today I baked zucchini bread, though, which I love to do because my recipe is awesome and amazing and I don’t share it with people because it was my great-grandmother’s and a family secret. But it’s the best zucchini bread you’ll ever eat.
Beth — April 4, 2012 @ 12:03 PM
I love to bake anything as long as it’s for someone else. I guess if I had to pick a specific type of thing to bake, it would have to be cookies (though cake is a very very close second).
Marty — April 4, 2012 @ 12:09 PM
I’m not really much of a sweets person, but I love to bake pao de queijo (brazilian cheese bread). I can eat these little tasties anytime of the day!

My absolute favorite thing to bake is sour cream coffee cake. It’s a little bit fussy, but it is my go to baked treat for baby shower brunches, fall coffee dates with friends, and a “just because” treat for my husband and daughter who just love it. I really love to bake. Any excuse is reason enough for me!

I go between good chocolate chip cookies and a good brownie (or two).
jamie — April 4, 2012 @ 5:58 PM
cookies. usually a variation on the classic chocolate chip. they are so easy to make and so wonderful to eat. plus, i really enjoy creaming the butter and sugars and later mixing in the flour. i actually find it therapeutic, in a way. lots of times i’ll just mix up a dough and then stash it in the fridge for later.
Sue McRae — April 4, 2012 @ 6:04 PM

My favorite thing to bake is muffins, because there are so many variations, because I love breakfast, and because they’re sort of like cupcakes that you can eat any time of day!

Gigi — April 4, 2012 @ 10:52 PM
I came across an old Katherine Hepburn recipe for her brownies (1971 issue of Redbook). Super-simple, super yummy and I always feel super-cool that I’m baking the same brownies as the great Ms. Hepburn.

Diane Rabassa — April 5, 2012 @ 4:07 AM
Omg I love to bake tres leche cake (from Spanish)
It is a sponge cake made with 3 milks, evaporated, condensed & milk or sometimes I add coconut milk. Its delicious! If you order it at a restaurant, it will be too repugnant which is the reason I make my own version. It can be made as a butter cake as well, it still comes out yummy for your tummy!

Bill — April 5, 2012 @ 6:59 AM

Tammy Wannemacher — April 5, 2012 @ 7:17 AM

I love to bake anything chocolate!!! But I also love my Blondies recipe and Almond Poppy muffin recipe. I love your blog!
Carol — April 5, 2012 @ 7:30 AM
I love the challenge of baking new recipes that catch my attention. I sometimes get inspired by something I’ve seen or something I’ve eaten and I just want to try to re-create it. But what I most love is to bake treats for my friends. Some enjoy cookies most, some ice cream, some cakes, some pastries…. I love to make them all….and I usually make an assortment. I think what I love to bake most of all are cakes because they can be so full of surprises…Beautiful on the outside, with hidden treasure on the inside. There are so many combinations of flavors, and layer upon layer of taste combinations and textures…Cakes are like presents and nobody really knows what it is until that first slice comes out, and then everybody cues up to get their own piece.
Jennifer R — April 5, 2012 @ 7:35 AM
I love baking cakes and cupcakes…any type even though chocolate cakes seems to be the ones I make the most.
Jillian Iacadoro — April 5, 2012 @ 7:37 AM
My absolute favorite thing to bake…I don’t know if I have one favorite. Is that a cop-out? I love baking anything that makes people stuff their faces and be happy – brownies (plain or jazzed up) and monkey bread are always a big hit, but perhaps my favorite is from-scratch-start-to-finish chocolate cream pie because it’s the most challenging (and therefore the most rewarding).
Sandy — April 5, 2012 @ 7:38 AM

oregonjudy — April 5, 2012 @ 9:41 AM
…anything with chocolate.
susan davis — April 5, 2012 @ 9:43 AM
Ahhh… an interesting question. The first thing that comes to mind when you say “baking” is pizza and the second is bread. Reading the comments I realize that we are talking of baking of the sweet variety and in responding to those comments I have to agree first with those who site Christmas baking as their favorite. And to end my theme, my second thought would be muffins. Being a frosting fanatic and constantly struggling with extra pounds I tend to choose muffins over cupcakes. They satisfy my sweet tooth and offer such a variety of ingredients! PS… I LOVE JOY THE BAKER!!!
Barbara — April 5, 2012 @ 9:52 AM
I love to bake cookies and brownies.
Lori — April 5, 2012 @ 9:53 AM

Rebecca — April 5, 2012 @ 10:09 AM
I absolutely LOVE baking cupcakes. All varieties…there’s nothing better than trying new recipes, creating your own & being able to decorate them however you want.
Eating them isn’t too bad either

Paula Rose — April 8, 2012 @ 7:12 PM
I think my favorite thing to bake are things that seem a little challenging.
I once saw that a well known bakery in NYC was selling crepe cakes for a crazy amount of $(b/c I would need it shipped). That prompted a google search, which led me to an amazing article in the NY Times, complete with recipes. Thanksgiving was around the bend and I pulled it off without a hitch! It’s now become my Thanksgiving dessert tradition.
Jenn — April 8, 2012 @ 7:14 PM
It’s a toss-up between chocolate chip cookies, and cupcakes. Whenever I’ve had a bad day, I can put a few delicious ingredients together and relax, knowing that I’ll soon have something tasty to pick me up again in about an hour.

Banana Cream Pie!
Michele Guizzetti — April 8, 2012 @ 7:20 PM
My favorite cookie of all time since I was old enough to bake without mom is my Mamaw Forry’s Sugar Cookies! They are fluffy and topped with sugar or little sprinkles and confections. My older brother and I would get home from middle school and whip a batch up for the evening. Mom really didn’t buy boxed cookies in the 1970′s it was pretty much home made everything. Oh the best part in 7 minutes they are out of the oven and in our mouths!
Janice N. — April 8, 2012 @ 7:26 PM
My favorite thing to bake is banana pumpkin bread. It’s so simple but so yummy! I know it’s mainly an autumn treat and it’s currently spring, but it’s still my favorite because it has that pumpkin-y sweet flavor.
That said, I wouldn’t mind making those brownies either! Oh, yum, do those look good!
sofia — April 8, 2012 @ 7:28 PM
favorite thing to bake? hm. i’d have to go with compost cookies, momofuku style. put everything you could ever want in a cookie, and it will come out good. i promise.

Jodie — April 8, 2012 @ 7:50 PM
My latest favorite is a lemon olive oil cookie that is just so so so delicious. And it’s extra great because it “happens to be vegan” rather than “vegan by design”
Jill — April 8, 2012 @ 8:00 PM
Italan cookies are not only my favorite thing to bake but pretty much the only thing I can bake with success!! I could def use some help from Joy!!

Em — April 8, 2012 @ 8:14 PM
Having to choose a favorite isn’t a hard thing to do, since the feeling you get from making a wonderful recipe says it all. So the most comforting recipe I indulge in making, are my grandmas chocolate walnut chunk cookies. It takes me back to when I was a young little girly standing on a chair so I could see over the counter. Did I mention the smell of these surrounds the house in deliciousness?! Yummmmm
Miranda — April 8, 2012 @ 8:26 PM
I already have the book, made these (with Ovaltine) and I concur, they are heaven. Also made about 7 other things so far – fantastic!

Frances — April 11, 2012 @ 2:29 PM
They do look scrumptious. I love a good brownie and years ago I discovered a trick in making the Best brownies no matter what recipe you use. It is to sprinkle over the brownies while they are still hot from the oven Godiva Dark Chocolate liquor. The milk chocolate liquor is not as good. This makes the brownies have such a yummy rich, decadent flavor you will never leave this ingredient out of your brownies again!
emily park — April 12, 2012 @ 12:25 PM
i think this is like a really good recipe and i am a girl who loves to cook so i hope one day i can try to do some of these recipies
