Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Step 5

Gently stir in the chocolate chips to incorporate evenly into the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the fudge squares with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation. Serve and enjoy!
