How to get fudgy but dark (not too sweet) brownies?
I'm making brownies for a good friend's birthday, and I took down her very specific brownie preferences as a challenge:
- Very dark chocolate (she likes a bitter flavour)
- Fudgy, not cakey
- Crunchy skin
- No chunky mix-ins
The problem is, it seems like a good deal of sugar is required to get the crunchy crust and fudgy texture. Yet, the brownie shouldn't be too sweet. Any advice/good recipes for this?
I sent her this image I found on a [blog](https://fedandfit.com/brownie-mix/) and ask her to circle the most appealing one. I don't have access to this specific brownie mix though, and neither do I think she wants this to be gluten-free. Besides, I want to bake from scratch!
