First things first, I love this delicious Hershey's Brownies from Scratch. They're the easiest chocolate brownies with the best gooey center. Original recipe calls for 1 & 1/3 cup flour

Ingredients

  • ¾ cuphershey’s cocoa
  • ½ tspbaking soda
  • ⅝ cupbutter, softened (halved)
  • ½ cupboiling water
  • 2 cupssugar
  • 2eggs
  • 1 ¼ cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1 tspvanilla extract
  • ¼ tspsalt
  • 1 cuphershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13×9 baking pan. You can use parchment paper, which is fine if you don’t have a non-stick baking pan, but just be sure to grease the paper, too.

  2. 2

    When the pan is prepared, put the water on to boil.

  3. 3

    Mix cocoa and baking soda in a large bowl, then stir in 1/3 cup butter. The butter needs to be room temperature, not melted.

  4. 4

    After that’s all mixed together, pour in boiling water and stir until the brownie batter mixture thickens.

  5. 5

    Stir in sugar, eggs and the remaining 1/3 cup butter and mix until smooth.

  6. 6

    Add flour, vanilla and salt; then blend completely.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

  8. 8

    Bake 35-40 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan–or a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, whichever.

  9. 9

    Allow to cool and cut into squires.
