Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined and slightly glossy.
Stir in the Hershey's chocolate syrup until fully incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips if using. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Allow brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before lifting out and slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For fudgier brownies, slightly underbake and allow to cool; for cakier brownies, bake a few minutes longer. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
