The Ultimate Fudgy Brownies (and Three Variations)
"[Photograph: Yvonne Ruperti] While the ingredient list is slightly longer than your simple back of the Baker's chocolate box brownie, it's worth it—these are no one dimensional brownies. They have a fudgy texture, a full bodied dark chocolate flavor, and crackling top.
