Fudge Brownies
Fudge brownies are dark, dense, fudge-like brownies. They contain more cocoa than cake-like brownies and as a result they are slightly more bitter and have a more "dark chocolate" taste.

Method 8 steps
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F or Gas Mark 3).
In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
Slowly stir in sugar, making sure it is completely dissolved. Stir in cocoa, then remove from heat and add vanilla.
Stir in salt and mix until even.
Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl, then add to the mixture and stir well.
Add flour and stir until all of the flour is incorporated and the batter is an even color. Stir well for at least another 50 strokes.
Pour into an 8×8-inch pan lined with aluminum foil, leaving plenty of overhang on both sides.
Bake for about 26 minutes—the time varies depending on your pan type and your individual oven.
