Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 10 x 15 x 1 inch jellyroll pan with foil, then grease the foil to prevent sticking.
- Melt the sweet butter either on the stove or in the microwave until partially melted.
- Add the chocolate to the partially melted butter. Continue heating until both are smoothly melted, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined. It’s recommended to mix by hand to avoid incorporating too much air into the batter.
- Add the flour and mix until fully incorporated. Ensure the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Mix in the graham cracker crumbs. This addition will contribute to the chewy texture of the brownies.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- Invert the pan onto the cooling rack, gently remove the pan, and peel off the foil.
- Cool the brownies upside down for an additional 15 minutes to help maintain their chewy texture.
- Invert the brownies onto another rack and allow them to cool completely to room temperature.
- Slice into 25 squares using a serrated knife for clean edges.
These Very Chewy Brownies are a delightful treat that balances the richness of chocolate with the unique texture brought by graham cracker crumbs. Perfect for any occasion, they are particularly suited for gatherings, potlucks, or simply as a sweet indulgence for family and friends.
