What makes a perfect brownie? The chocolate that is used to make them. Chocolate with low cocoa content will result in brownies that are too sweet. A strong dark chocolate can make brownies too sharp. The perfect brownie is made with a chocolate containing between 42% and 50% cocoa, and you just found the recipe! These brownies are Chef Eddy’s favorite. They are rich and fudgy with a crackly top. You’ll never go back to a boxed brownie mix again after trying these.
