Dark chocolate brownie with a bite out of it.

Fudgy Dark Chocolate Brownies [Without Oil]

If there is one recipe you use from my site, it should be these dark chocolate brownies. I am picky about my brownies, and this one is so perfectly balanced- from the chocolate to the sugar to the salt. And my personal must-haves: this recipe has a beautiful crackly crust and a crisp edge that gives way to a fudgy, soft center. It does not get any better than this.
