Chewy Brownies

Are you team chewy brownies? Then this is the recipe for you. It uses a combination of oil and butter; the oil gives the chewy texture, while the butter provides the rich mouthfeel we love. (Light brown sugar also adds to the chewiness and offers a touch of caramel flavor.) Use the best-quality unsweetened chocolate you can find for these brownies—chocolate is the main flavor, so it really makes a difference to the finished dessert. Pro tip: If you like a crackly crust, mix the chocolate, sugar, and eggs together until they are shiny.
