Chocolate syrup brownies are the perfect treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. They combine the rich, decadent flavors of chocolate syrup and brownies to create a delicious, irresistible dessert. Follow these step-by-step instructions to make chocolate syrup brownies that your family and friends will love.

Ingredients:

– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

– 2 cups granulated sugar

– 4 large eggs

– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 3/4 cup cocoa powder

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1 cup chocolate syrup (store-bought or homemade)

– Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal of the brownies once they’re baked.

2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, mixing until thoroughly combined.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—avoid overmixing.

6. Fold in the chocolate syrup, stirring slowly until evenly incorporated. If desired, you can also fold in the chopped nuts at this stage.

7. Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

8. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as this can cause the brownies to become dry.

9. Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before removing them from the pan using the parchment paper overhang.

10. Once completely cooled, cut your chocolate syrup brownies into squares and enjoy!

With these simple steps, you’ll have delicious, gooey chocolate syrup brownies that are perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying all by yourself. The rich, fudgy texture combined with the irresistible chocolate syrup swirls makes these brownies a truly indulgent treat.
