These fudgy chocolate squares are a classic in every baker's kitchen—but there's more than one way to make them (especially if you want to try something a little different). We've got triple-chocolate, cheesecake brownies, brownie crackle cookies and more in this heavenly collection. Now it's just up to you to decide which of these homemade brownie recipes to bake first!
Triple-chocolate brownies, made with melted butter. Why? Melted butter has already released much of its water content, making the finished treats soft and dense, as well as flavourful. Get this triple-chocolate brownies recipe.
An easy, hall-of-fame-worthy dessert to add to your go-to recipe collection. Kitchen tip: These crackle cookies are best sprinkled with flakes of sea salt after baking. Get this double-chocolate brownie cookies recipe.
The addition of roasted white chocolate—which has a gorgeous caramelized flavour—and nutty brown butter add new flavour dimensions to the humble blondie. Get our roasted white chocolate and brown butter blondies recipe.
Wait until everyone’s had a taste before telling them the secret. These brownies use grated beets (you can’t even tell they’re there!), adding a great boost of folate to the meal. Get this chocolate-beet brownies recipe.
"I’m a fan of both dense, fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies, and a blondie is what you’d get if the two united. This variation is spiked with tahini, adding an underlying nutty richness from the sesame paste, and embellished with chopped chocolate and finished with flaky sea salt—and the combination is both sweet and salty," cookbook author Jan Scott says. Get her salted chocolate tahini skillet blondies recipe.
"It would be great if canned pumpkin were sold in just the right amount to make a pie. But since it isn’t, these blondies are a delicious way to use up the rest. The ribbon of pumpkin butter makes them addictively good." Get Eshun Mott's pumpkin brown butter blondies recipe.
These have two-thirds the calories, half the fat and three times the amount fibre of ordinary brownies. You can even dress up these brownies with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. (We used raspberries and kiwi berries). Get this light and decadent brownies recipe.
Dark and fudgy brownies are always a hit, and now the gluten-sensitive can enjoy them, too. Get this gluten-free brownies recipe.
Drizzled with a molasses glaze, each gingery bite of these brownies (they’re also gluten-free!) is one to savour. Get this gingerbread brownies recipe.
You get the best of both worlds! Creamy, rich cheesecake and thick, fudgy brownie swirled together in one decadent mouthful. (You might want to bake a double batch because they won’t last long.) Get this cheesecake brownies recipe.
Blondies, the lighter cousin of the chocolate brownie, won our vote for easiest-to-make holiday square. Then we came up with four delicious variations, including chocolate-toffee blondie cookies and cranberry-white chocolate. Get our blondies cookies recipes.
These brownies get the perfect nutty crunch from lightly toasted hazelnuts. Get this hazelnut brownies recipe.

These candy-filled brownies offer a surprise in every bite. They're also the perfect way to use up leftover chocolates (if such a thing exists). Get our box-of-chocolates brownies recipe.
