4. Stir in chopped chocolate pieces. Stir until melted.
5. Add eggs one at a time and stir well (make sure the butter/sugar/chocolate mixture has cooled slightly so the eggs don’t scramble) then add vanilla. Stir until incorporated.

Tips for Perfect Fudgy Brownies:

• Don’t Overbake: To keep them fudgy, take them out of the oven when they’re still slightly underdone in the center.
• Use High-Quality Chocolate: Dark chocolate with at least 60-70% cocoa content gives the best flavor.
• Cool Before Slicing: Let the brownies cool completely for clean, even slices.
