Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies

Ina Garten’s Outrageous Brownies are truly that — outrageous! To make them, you first start by melting together butter, unsweetened chocolate, and a pound of chocolate chips (yes, really!). While that mixture cools, stir together eggs, instant coffee, vanilla, and sugar. Combine the chocolate and egg mixture and allow it to cool even more. Meanwhile, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then add your cooled chocolate mixture. Toss chopped walnuts and more chocolate chips in a bit of flour and then add them to the batter before pouring everything into a baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes, rap the sheet against the oven shelf to allow air underneath the brownies, and bake for another 15. Remove the brownies, allow them to cool, and you’ll be ready to eat.

Ree Drummond’s Knock You Naked Brownies

Knock You Naked Brownies from Ree Drummond are basically “kitchen sink” brownies. They have so many delicious tidbits in them that you won’t be able to pick a favorite. Drummond also uses German Chocolate cake mix as the base of her brownies, making them so easy to pull together in a snap. To make them, combine the cake mix with chopped pecans, evaporated milk, and melted butter. Press half of that mixture into a greased baking pan and bake it for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a double boiler, melt whole caramel candies with evaporated milk. Then pour this mixture over the baked brownie base and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Form the rest of your brownie batter into a square a bit smaller than your pan and slide it on top of the caramel layer. Bake the brownies, allow them to cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and you’re ready to enjoy (and enjoy you definitely will!).

Giada De Laurentiis’ Salted Dark Chocolate Chunk Brownies

Not only are Giada De Laurentiis’ Salted Dark Chocolate Chunk Brownies so easy to make, but they’re so delicious that you won’t want to live a day without them. In one bowl, you mix together flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and in another bowl, you melt butter and then whisk in sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Then these two bowls are combined, and you add in your bittersweet chocolate chunks, and pour the batter into a prepared pan. Sprinkle flake salt and turbinado sugar over the batter before baking to give the brownies extra flavor and crunch once they’re out of the oven. After one bite, you’ll be hooked.

Alex Guarnaschelli’s Slow Cooker Brownies

If you love brownies with “chewy edges and gooey centers,” then you’ll die for these Slow Cooker Brownies from Alex Guarnaschelli. To make them, you first prep your slow cooker with butter and parchment paper. Then, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Next, melt butter and bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler, then slowly whisk in sugar, eggs, and vanilla before combining the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Put your brownie batter into the slow cooker bowl, cover, and cook on low for about an hour and 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to remove the brownies from the slow cooker pot once they’re done, and you’ll have an ooey-gooey dessert that tastes oh-so decadent.
