- Main Brownie Ingredients: Butter – is necessary for a rich, chewy brownie. Chocolate – use both melted baking chocolate and cocoa powder. Sugar – not only will sugar add sweetness, it will also melt during baking and help with the chewiness. Flour – the more flour you use, the cakier a brownie will be. Typically I use 1 cup of flour for super fudgy brownies but for this recipe, I added 1/4 cup more. Eggs – the main structure of brownies. I also added an extra egg yolk to get more chewiness..
