Everyone loves brownies, and there are thousands of recipes for brownies that are fudgy, dense, chewy, cake-like, and/or gooey. However, sometimes it’s nice to bake brownies that are a cut above – ethereal, if you may. These are absolutely the Worlds Best Brownies, and not only take a bit of effort to make, but are also quite expensive to make – all worth it. These are not the brownies you make for everyday, rather these are the brownies that you make to impress – that you make for fancy parties and gourmet dinners. They are made with real butter, fresh eggs, Dutch cocoa powder, and lots of highest quality dark and white chocolate.

The Official Hancock Tasters agreed that these are incredible, worth every calorie, and also worth the price to make them. The recipe has been adapted from a recipe found on a website from the UK, and the ingredient amounts have been converted from UK metric measurements. These brownies stay moist for several days, that is, if they last that long.
