Fudgy Brownies

Fudgy brownies deliver rich chocolate flavour in every bite. This recipe uses both cocoa powder and brown sugar to enhance the deep, moist texture. Melting the butter before mixing helps distribute the cocoa evenly throughout the batter. Top these indulgent squares with a smooth chocolate icing for the ultimate brownie experience.
