Easy Homemade Chocolate Brownies

These brownies are a simple basic chocolate brownie that tastes great.The consistency is right between fudgy and cakey which is just how I like them.

Why are these the best brownies?  Well, for me it is all about the texture.

These brownies have that perfect balance between fudgy and cakey.

If brownies are too fudgy they can seem underdone.  Too cakey and they can get dry.

That is why this Brownie Recipe is my personal favorite.  Not too fudgy.  Not too cakey.

Yeah, I take my brownies very seriously.

And just to be sure they are the best, I added a fluffy Nutella buttercream frosting on top!  BOOM!
